If the client wanted to continue living in the old house, he had not hired any architect.

As a piece of architectural sculpture this is quite dramatic and I like the contrasting textures and volumes. The new building takes full advantage of the views and the breezes in ways that the cottage does not. However, without seeing the interior of the previous cottage I can make no determination of any improvement in utility for the resident. I doubt there is enough storage space and there certainly isn’t any place to eat a sit down meal or socialize with friends inside. I would want to see this as lived in before rendering a judgment, but it seems that in the design the Architectural taste of the owner has trumped the residentail needs of his employee.

Quando vi pela primeira vez a foto do vosso projecto (before and after),pensei que era um rectângulo em cinza feito pelo photoshop para preencher qualquer coisa.
Há questões aqui de vária ordem que há que ter em conta:
Primeiro, existe o contexto e, claramente a forma encontrada aqui não o respeita.
Segundo, essa fachada completamente cega…se calhar leva-me a pensar que o projecto foi pouco pensado e precisava de mais trabalho porque, claramente têm uma vista que não está a ser explorada.
Terceiro, o claro desrespeito por uma “arquitectura”, ainda que vernacular mas, quanto a mim, mais bem integrada na paisagem.
Quando o conceito não é bem explorado como é este o caso, arriscamo-nos a cair na “Arquitectura que cabería em qualquer lado” e receio que seja este o caso.

This is an amazing design. The best reinterpretation the old place could have wished for, and i love the TV shot with the reflection of the large window, it shows to me the fun the architect / photographer had working on this place . Indeed the best box in a long time.

I love this design. Purely unnatural clean manmade lines working against the rugged beauty and warmth of the existing stone. This is what creates such an impact. A triumph in my opinion, and to all those that say it is sad the old house was lost – how do you know there wasn’t an even older one there before!

The caretaker said it all…

“During the work, the caretaker Zé Maria, still not content with his future living quarters, compared it with a can of sardines, a container as those he sees passing through the channel or even a cooler, like those used by beachgoers to carry beer.”
