Contemporary house in Portugal by Bruno Armando Gomes Marques

This house is located in Oliveira de Azeméis, in São Roque, Municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis, Portugal. It sits on a site situated between two roads, not the most suitable location for a private home. Its location means there’s much more noise than usually and this can affect the users. Also, the exposure is higher than usual.

There’s also a third level that includes the laundry room, the storage room and the garage. It’s on the south side. The social volume is mostly neutral and features tones of grey and green. The private volume is a little more dynamic in terms of shape. The walls are white and the décor is simple. The third volume, the one that includes the garage and the porch is partially beneath the house and it was possible for it to be created thanks to the shape of the site.{found on archdaily}.
