houses in sobral da lagoa, óbidos portugal | 2008
in a rural vernacular village near the west coast, a white volume is filled in the void left between two houses. the house as two faces. one facing the access, and another facing the fields. in both cases, it’s the character of the coloured window openings that animates their composition.the roof extends the house perimeter to the depth of the adjacent houses and plots.facing the fields, the pool sets the line of the horizon while giving roof to the storage and garage underneath.
