single-family house set on a steeply sloping plot at cruz da pedra, in the quinta da ribeira de nisa. the house is conceived as an articulated sequence of spaces and moments: on arrival, a garden breaks up the reading of the façade and a side planter extends indoors as a small interior garden. from the central zone unfold the day area — living room, kitchen and link to the lower studio — and the night area, with the main suite facing the planted courtyards. the long, generous living room opens onto a green terrace whose continuous planter conceals bench and guardrail. on the lower floor, a multifunctional studio connects to the pool. in a sand-toned materiality — etics in ral 1015 and moleanos limestone — the house breaks with the rigidity of housing estates and converses with the hills.
