Housing Project, Parada do Monte, Melgaço
On a rustic farmland in Parada do Monte, Melgaço, a single-family home was designed for a young couple who aspired to build their own home in their hometown, with a contemporary design. The couple wanted a home with generous living spaces and an outdoor leisure area where they could enjoy the surrounding natural landscape. Thus, the four-bedroom house perfectly met the client’s needs. The topography of the land and the panoramic view of the landscape and the Mouro Valley to the north were also key considerations in the proposal.
The house consists of a detached T-shaped volume with two floors above ground level and a semi-underground basement. The volume was placed on a platform to maximize views of the surrounding landscape.
On the ground floor, to the north, there is access to the outdoor terrace, which serves as an extension of the internal living spaces and bedrooms, offering a 180-degree panoramic view of the surroundings.
