Yap, It does remind Robert Konieczny, but I should explain “why do portuguese people have this mania for closing up every window and door with shudders/blinds?” Two of the reasons were already mentioned: concept and engeneering. The concept was indeed a black box (image which the shudders help to obtain)and portuguese summers are extremely hot, so it’s a practical protection from excessive sunlight. In many countries, particularly in northern Europe, windows are constantly open but, in Portugal, people have an historic mental need for enclosure, in the sense that they value protection and privacy above all. Later on, that medieval need found its way in to our law system, backed up by energy saving policies, so now, if you want a project to be aproved by the city hall, it’s mandatory for it to shut exterior light completely, even if the architect or the client don’t want to.

Great idea and lovely interior execution, but that straight-run stair detracts from what could be a more spacious second floor.

[...] An ominous geometry with an airy interior, this compact three-level home in Vila Nova Gaia, Portugal uses edgy architecture to bring relief from reality. A team at Arquitectos Anónimos used dark plywood for the facade, which contrasts boldly with nearly sterile white indoor spaces. The home is compartmentalized and organized around a central “communication corridor.” The home’s spacious roof terrace was planned and arranged in relation to neighboring houses and structures to provide an ocean view.

If they were worried about direct heat gain perhaps they should have chosen a lighter exterior color……….

And if this house was not black outside, would it be interesting? NO, NO,NO. So what exites you in this project?

May i just correct you, the shutters are needed to block the direct heat gains during the hot months that can so easily lead to overheating in places like Portugal. The light contrast is just a consequence!

Cheese, What’s the reason.
The because is the brilliant light outside most of the time, and a need to have the possibility of the two moods, dark and bright.

In the case, I think this a project intention! The box close and dark, the interior bright and open.

Exquisite form, but it unfortunately lacks depth. So internal, bleak, and solid.
