PM House

Setting a visual balance between pairs contributes to an improvement of this urban quality.

The house is located in a residential zone of Aveiro, in the northwest town center boundary. Its surrounding environment is characterized by heterogeneity of buildings, not always with a clear identity as a whole.

Although with regards to deployments and distance there is some coherence. The most diurnal spaces meet on the ground floor, with a free relationship with the outside space, especially with the yard.

The lobby surprises upon arrival. Imposing, it plays a pivotal role and leads to all compartments. It even acquires a scenic component, especially through the presence of a half height stairwell which coincides with stair's baseline.

The first floor houses a more private program, such as the twin rooms on the western side and a suite on the eastern side.

The chosen materials reinforce the character of synthesis and abstract aspects of the house.

Optimizing the relationship with the city, it also emphasizes this proximity and dialogue by creating a south terrace.

The image clarity is reinforced by the floor concrete paving flags which contrast with the grass.

It anthracite aluminum, glass and the grass areas are of great importance.

The courtyard removes the coldness of the house and gives a domestic scale, protected by a game of balances.
