Text description provided by the architects. Livramento House was designed by the architects of Mezzo Atelier to shelter an English couple and their six dogs. The house reflects the practical and easy-going lifestyle of its residents, with a serene location at the top of a deep slope and covered by native vegetation. The team of architects used the typology and materiality of a nearby ruin to design the new construction: an existing lava stone wall was used to anchor and support the proposed volume.
