"Text description provided by the architects. The House of Espinheira was conceived from a concept that combines the pragmatism of form and the materials that provide resistance or protection from natural elements, resulting in a work of refined language. Its genesis lies in a initial gesture of folding, an architectural origami emerging from the simplicity of a paper napkin, exploring the relationship between form and function."

The House of Espinheira combines pragmatic geometric form with durable materials chosen for resistance and protection from natural elements. The design emphasizes a refined architectural language articulated through material choices and formal clarity. The project originates from an initial folding gesture that becomes an architectural origami, translating the simplicity of a paper napkin into built form. The folded geometry organizes spatial relationships, circulation, and climatic response while aligning form directly with functional and structural demands. Material performance and formal pragmatism drive the design outcome.
