house in boliqueime, loulé
portugal | 2002

the house is located in a band between the sea and the algarve's mountains, near the city of loulé. in this region of fruit trees, we can still find a few examples of vernacular architecture that were reinterpreted in the house configuration. almost blind in the north facade, it opens a single window that brings to the interior the presence of a secular carob tree. on the contrary, in the south facade, a rhythm of slim and deep glass doors, establishes different relations with the terrace, the anchored volume of the pool and the surrounding landscape.
