Vitor Vilhena Architects : Maison à Tavira

A Tavira dans le sud du Portugal, l'agence d'architecture Vitor Vilhena signe la construction de cette maison de béton blanc de 400 mètres carrés.

Composée de deux volumes bâtis, elle étire sa longue silhouette parmi les oliviers.

Sur ce projet, l'agence Vitor Vilhena Architects précise:

"South of Portugal, Algarve, Tavira. Here the ocean peeks, while the 400 olive trees surround the house. An old building has to give place to a new one, keeping the two volume-footprint in the soft topography.

Based on the area occupied by the pre-existence, maintaining the orientation of the housing compartments south, the architectural concept seeks to create two parcels with separate identities, including one volume with irregular geometry and other volume of regular geometry that communicate through a glass hallway. The surrounding outdoors relate to the terrain, landscape and vegetation."
