A Patio House / NPS Arquitectos

Susanna Moreira — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

The intention was to create a volume with a series of subtractions that would either cause perforations to the outside or highlight internal relationships defining hierarchies - different levels of intimacy. Almost axially, closer to the north side where it is flanked by a staircase, a large subtraction emerges, a covered ‘patio’, with an orthogonal design that makes all the spaces of the house pour into it, in a dynamic game of opening and closing and, above all, of light and shadow. These internal elevations are a determining theme of this project, not only because of their openings and the communications they favor, but also because of what they enclose, shielding the gaze from spaces that might contain greater privacy.

Forte Santa Catarin / RVdM Arquitecto

Florencia Mena — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 05:00:00 +0000

It is believed that the construction of the Santa Catarina Fortress, at the Mondego’s river mouth, is from the XVI century, but there is information to have been there a small chapell before, as illustrated in a nautical chart from 1634 by Pedro Teixeira Albernaz. The spatial and formal relationship between the fort and the chapel is remarkable, revealing different building techniques. Both set up like a triangular "vault" keeping a relic.
