Rui Grazina designs house in Barcelos
Published: 28-Oct-2009
Portugese designer Rui Grazina has designed a private house in Barcelos, Portugal, based on the articulation between the existing alignments and the new, proposed access road.
The plot has an area of 3380 square meters, part of which is located in a green, protected area. The house has a total area of 304 square meters, and a gross building area of 288 square meters. The design for its footprint has been based on the articulation between the existing alignments and the new, proposed access road, which enables both car and foot access.
The designer aimed to turn the living spaces to the east, considering this is where the most interesting visual points are and to make rooms face south due to the quality of sun exposure, privacy and relationship with the existing topography. On this side of the building, the existing ground level is higher, enabling a connection and continuity between interior and exterior. The social areas are at ground level, and the private areas on the upper level.
The study for the private house started in January 2006, with planning approval in September 2008. On-site work was completed in October 2009.
