The basic principle of the project was to create a continuous platform that “floats” above the “natural” terrain and from which the house is organized. Above this platform, a two-storey dwelling was designed; and at a lower level there is a complementary basement floor following the natural slope of the land.

The platform relates to the terrain, the house relates to the view. The proposal values the relationship between the interior and exterior, as well as the permeability between these spaces: the entrance to the house, to the east, is revealed only within the plot; the “plateau” to the west, which extends beyond the alignment of the house, functions as a natural extension of the dwelling.

“The current project is always the most challenging and the one to which we devote the most attention and care, and Real Amoreiras, also known as Travessa das Águas Livres next to Arquitectos, is proof of that!

All the projects developed with Atelier Pedro Carrilho Arquitectos have the characteristic of attention to detail, which is expressed in the work methodology and project development with clients.

The importance of previous surveys, detailing and specialization work by the team, which culminates in the execution project, is always expressed in the final results of each project.

Having the possibility of developing each project together and having the architects accompany and support them until the final delivery of the works is one of the most valuable features. For us it’s much more than an architecture studio, it’s a house with friends to whom we entrust the development of our projects.”

This relationship is also evident and differentiated in the elevations: to the east, towards the public highway, the design is more restrained to preserve privacy, while to the west the façade opens onto the hillside.
