The architectural tradition of the Alentejo is defined by simplicity of form, functional spaces, and a deep connection with climate and landscape. The Monte Alvo house sits at the top of the hill as a single-story residence. The house is oriented and positioned to maximize solar gain and passive strategies to maintain thermal comfort throughout the year. The design emphasizes clear, simple volumes and spatial functionality that respond to the regional climate and surrounding landscape. The house combines restraint in form with strategic siting to enhance environmental performance and establish a strong relationship with the Alentejo terrain and light.
