The single-family house sits in Vila Nova de Gaia and comprises three floors arranged to exploit the surrounding landscape. Integration with the existing topography guided the spatial organization, placing different functions on each level and defining their accesses. Social areas and private bedrooms are positioned to take advantage of panoramic views. The design ensures sightlines toward the sea, the Douro estuary, the Douro River, and the city of Porto. Floor sequencing and access strategies respond directly to slope conditions to enhance both circulation and visual connection with the exterior landscape.
