The Crismina fort is one of the three XVIII century forts of the old defense line of the coast of Cascais, following the conflict between Portugal and Spain. This fortified structure is mainly an empty space, fenced by walls, partly deteriorated by wind erosion and other atmospheric phenomena. The walls have different heights and thickness defining an irregular polygon.

Residential Building in Cascais / Atelier AAVV

Susanna Moreira — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Building on a corner is drawing in the landscape of the city. But to build is to give a body, and to give a body is to open the form of space. Constructing a building at the corner of an avenue in a town like Cascais, where the resonance of the garden-city has created a fabric of detached placements, means raising a new presence, planting a body that did not exist before, into the earth, into the place.

Nestled within a garden, a wooden object emerges from the slope: a sauna that contemplates the view.

Susanna Moreira — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

In the ancient center of a village by the sea, a centenary house was built leaning against the medieval defensive wall. This building grew by adding and suppressing spaces to the depth of the old wall, which was the starting point of the project. The intervention did not intend to sum area to the existing, but to invent new spaces inside the building, while convoking its own medieval spirit.

UNTITLED House / Atelier JQTS

Susanna Moreira — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 03:00:00 +0000

UNTITLED arose from the idea of a large reinforced concrete structure capable of simultaneously superimposing the spatial logic of the house together with the resistant structure imposed by gravity. It is a single-family house with a single floor defined by a ribbed slab that allows one to face flexibility of uses and different long-term appropriations.

Four Buildings in Avenida Brasil / Aurora Arquitectos + Furo

Andreas Luco — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The site and the great height difference between the street fronts were the generating principles to create four volumes of semi-detached houses. Each of the eight houses is organized into three levels, with the middle level being the social floor. Conceptually, this floor is an open plan divided by functional volumes that house the kitchen, a bathroom, or a closet. The façade is completely glazed. The fluidity of the plan and the transparency of the façade are combined to give the perception of continuity between the interior floor and the landscaped exterior surface that covers the garage and is at the same level as this floor.
