A Zapateira House / Encaixe Arquitectura

+ 12

Text description provided by the architects. The house is located in a valley surrounded by forests, cultivated plots, terraces, and vineyards. The site conveys a sense of calm, where the silence is only broken by birdsong and the occasional tractor. Designing the rehabilitation of a place where the clients spent their childhood is a complex task—a mix of conflicting feelings, the desire to transform the old house into a space filled with light, and the hesitation of dismantling the walls where their family grew up.
