In Cascais, building at a corner signifies introducing a new presence into the city landscape, necessitating both courage and structure for permanence. The project aims to balance urban planning with the varied architecture needed for 15 houses, focusing on sunlight and sea views. The design embraces a blend of modernism and regional identity, featuring distinct living spaces that connect with the site. Concrete serves as a key material, transformed to resonate with the local aesthetic while maintaining the clarity and complexity of the structure.
Constructing a building at the corner of an avenue in a town like Cascais means raising a new presence, planting a body that did not exist before.
In architecture, perhaps it is indeed necessary to verge on abstraction in order to be capable of making the concrete.
The houses found meaning in the depth of the shape of the volume, where a distribution gallery could once again become a distinct space.
The structure assumed its natural realization as form, making whole what is complex, by the physical clarity of matter.
