Helder da Rocha Arquitectos have recently completed work on their latest residential project in Santa Marinha, Portugal. Discover more below.
According to the brief, the architects neede to provide three entrances. The assignment was limited by an urban subdivision. The implantation, distances, and number of floors were all specified.
On two stories,the architects had a rectangle spanning 10 meters by 14 meters to occupy. The client did not want to build on such a large space. The solution was to open a patio to the south, to add to the construction area, light and ventilate the house.
