House in Estrela / Aires Mateus

Martita Vial della Maggiora — Sat, 08 May 2021 06:00:00 +0000

The house is located on a ridge above the Lisbon estuary. It faces the Estrela Basilica on one side, and the river on the other. The house, with an extensive brief, requires the use of two circuits: one interior and the other exterior, alternating in order to facilitate the independence of the parents and their children’s lives. The house revives the form of a traditional street front house, in this case entirely in face concrete, both inside and outside. Thus, it opens up via the relationship between its constituent spaces.

House in Lisbon / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 20:00:00 +0000

The concept for this house emerges from a reflection on the identity of Lisbon architecture, a recurring type of 6-meter-wide and 15-meter-long deep house, ending in a small garden in the back. It is a 5-storey building with two radically different elevations: one “public” in white lioz limestone (the most used in Lisbon) and the one in the back, in glass, connected by an interior world in exposed concrete, punctuated by birch wood elements.

11 Houses in Murtal / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Cristian Aguilar — Sun, 14 Sep 2014 01:00:00 +0000

It is not often than we have the chance to project houses for both sides of one street. This is actually about planning a whole street, its atmosphere, its character, rhythm, texture, colour, etc.
It is a project to be worked on in two simultaneous scales, a city-scale and yet another one, smaller, domestic, individual.
This twofold condition is always present, even though public space is previously defined in sidewalk width, asphalt and parking spaces.

Caneças High School / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Nico Saieh — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The existent school is located in the outskirts of Caneças, Odivelas, in a territory of intense discontinuities. The proposal is structured beginning in a double interpretation of the learning concept: formal learning and informal learning.

House in Leiria / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Megan Jett — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 01:00:00 +0000

The house is located in a "typical" peripheral urbanization of Pousos, a parish of the municipality of Leiria. Situated east of the city and at high ground, it works as a sort of panoramic belvedere over Leiria.

House in Possanco / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Andrew Rosenberg — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:00:00 +0000

The cultural meeting point joining the house owners and the architects was based on their common interest: an undoubtedly contemporary architecture, but one whose nature and final expression would also be the outcome of a research of the paradigms figuring in the traditional architecture of the region, the Alentejo.

House in Matinhal / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Amber P — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0000

This house is located in Sagres (Algarve), the furthest southwest location in Portugal.

Ilhavo City Library / ARX Portugal

Nico Saieh — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Ílhavo City Library is located in the remains of the Manor Visconde de Almeida, a noble house from the 17th-18th century, later transformed and demolished. From the original building only the main façade, oriented southeast, and the chapel, both in ruins, were left. There was no trace from the carriage porch which completed the building on the southwestern end. However, all elements remaining from the old construction were examples of qualified architecture, in their proportion and elegance of the masonry.

House II in Aroeira / ARX Portugal

Nico Saieh — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0000

This is the second project for the urbanization of the Aroeira's golf course, a field of lawns, sand zones and lakes, and in this case, also a pine tree area. The terrain is narrow and long, slightly triangulated and with a soft inclination alongside the lot. It is also densely occupied by large pines, which end suddenly at north by the immediate vicinity of the golf course.

House in Romeirão / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Nico Saieh — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0000

The site has a strong rural character, with small plantations, orchards and pathways limited by roughly made stone property walls and, once in a while, houses, scattered in the landscape.
