Jorge Guedes’ House by 100 Planos Architecture
Located on top of a valley, Jorge Guedes’s house, appears as a large window that covers the landscape. The building rises to the principles of aggregation volumetric patents in vernacular architecture of the region.
We draw an organic whole, composed of three bodies, which extends to the ground, searching each of the volumes the best orientation, solar and landscape, ending itself, the different valences of the house. A “Y” where the point of intersection of the arms, is both the entry and distribution, separating the public of the private area’s.
The spaces that are not facing the valley, bathroom, laundry and kitchen were fitted with a small orange patio that allows them to have direct sunlight without creating imbalances in elevation.

Nice place, but that curved wall in the living room kinda ruins the plan.

nice solutions, right usage of panoramic views… high quality.

That view is impressive. The open space makes you feel unlimited and free of gravity. I appreciate the direct sunlight in the rooms. The only thing that scares me little bit is that the whole building feels a bit cold. I would rather fill it with colors used in a similar way as the red color in the kitchen.

This house is totally out of place end doesn’t even try to blend in. We have many of those in Portugal.
Boring and cold house.
Is it just me or almost every contemporary house looks the same… a cold box with glass walls

I kinda understand part of Ricardo’s view… but I’m less concerned about a building blending in. In my experience, tastefully designed buildings somehow seem to provide these dynamic and engaging contrasts between existing and new… at other times the designers are particularly in tuned to contextual cues and counterpoints.
But agree on this project, it’s cold and dull. [Which modern, reductionist buildings don't have to be.] In my view, the minimalist extremism in this project is not well edited. One photo looks like a shot of a clean room. Morover, these pictures seem to obscure more than they reveal…
