MENTION RESTORING - RESIDENTIAL

Beira Mar Aveiro , Portugal

by Paulo Martins Arquitectura - Design
The reformation of this unique house , located on a plot 30 metres long by 2.5 metres wide , is formally developed along a habitable “ corridor ” designed using restrained materials such as cement and drywall . The path from the entrance to the outer patio runs through different environments : from a dark and intimate interior to a completely white exterior that floods the house with natural light , sometimes stark , others diffused . All the social functions have been located on the ground floor , while the upper floor has been reserved for two bedrooms and a solarium , presided over by a green facade to guarantee maximum privacy .
The LUMEAL sliding system allows to merge the inside-outside space , making the most of the glazed space .
A house designed for living in the protection of privacy and the freshness of the outdoors , in harmony with the past and with a deep respect for the future
