Architect Designed Homes By Egas Vieira & Manuel Graca Dias

 

Looking at the desire for individualism and privacy which bestows to this type of innovation, we plan to forge within a perfect peripheral a banal L shaped structure, that will articulate in a comfortable form coherently with programmed requisites. [A circle is the most autonomous shape of all; (two circles set side by side will only have one common point)."

Egas Vieira and Manuel Graca Dias

The flat vegetable covered roofs served as a starting point for the design of a terrace with access from the central courtyard to the ‘L’. It contains a small solarium placed slightly lower than the house and a mirrored water pool and when the ‘Music Room’ is covered will illuminate it from above through a series of small skylights that will sense the undulation of the water (at night electric lights will create the same sort of effect and reflections)."

The architects adhered to a set of rules that provide the formal unity of the project, but which simultaneously enabled them to follow their own original and specific objectives. Most important among these rules and vital for the originality of the resort, was that all rooftops should be covered in greenery and any walls should either be covered in greenery or else simply not exist at all.

With the highest standards of quality of life in mind, nothing was left to chance.
