Casa da Azoia / SAMF Arquitectos

This house is set upon a promontory, Cape Espichel, south of Lisbon. It sits close to high cliffs and, even if at ground level you don´t see the sea, you can sense it's presence by the salted smell, the humidity of the winds that sweep over from the Northwest, and by the harsh reflected light which seems to come from all around. The lot is at the edge of a low density village, with an irregular geometry resulting from the construction of a peripheral road, looking southwards to a nature protected area.

This is the refurbishment and enlargement of a house in the Barrocal region of the Algarve, in the south of Portugal. This is a transition area between the coast and the Caldeirão Range of Hills to the north, mostly agricultural land producing citrus fruits, almonds, and figs.

The main building of the “Quinta da Boavista”, is situated in a privileged location along the margins of the Douro River, overlooking the sinuous valley, sculpted by man over the centuries to produce wine. Besides the agricultural function, this wine-producing estate also serves the private use of a large family and touristic use as a guest house.

This small house is at the entrance of Quinta da Boavista, Mesão Frio in the Douro Valley, set in a dramatic landscape transformed by man over the centuries to produce wine. It houses the caretaker and is the first phase of an intervention that will expand and refurbish the existing buildings for agriculture and tourism.

Conde House / SAMF Arquitectos

This house, for a musician, is located in a low-density housing area, near a large pinewood, south of Lisbon. The site had an unusual topographical situation, where the construction of the front street had cut the landscape to form a small “cliff” 3/4m high. The house was thought as a substitution of this cliff, maintaining the original situation overlooking the street, over a high sustaining wall. A patio was excavated as the entrance.
