The houses that compose the complex Casas da Fonte (5 houses – lot 45 to lot 49) are integrated in the allotment developed in 1999 by Matéria Modular, Arquitectura Lda., for Lugar de Alviães, Freguesia de Palmaz, city of Oliveira de Azeméis.

Following the Urban Director Plan, the lot is included in the transition zone, which is characterized by the occupation of small volume buildings. The proposed solution fits legally both in terms of typology and use, and it involves a set of parallel volumes that define patios, which organize functionally the programmatic relations.

The lot develops pending towards south and sunset. To avoid big soil movements, it is made a contact of the volumes with the soil. Therefore, the edification adapts naturally to the allotment drawing and also to its infrastructures.

hmm welll…… its gud …..bt nothing much different.
getting to see lot many of smiler kind .getting bored with this style .
Hate the red wall
me neither, but i like the light under the stairs, creates a nice composition on the wall…
Great design: cozy & intimate.
Full of deco possibilities…
Love the red wall!
such an ordinary project…
Good project and excellent photographs
are the plans bitmaps??!!
Just look at those drawings and you’ll see how bad this project is…
this is an example of “land stewradship” serving the land not dominating it .. working with the lines and slopes of nature
Contractor’s architecture…VERY POOR….
