Placed in the Douro River Valley in Portugal, this residence dazzles with its harmonious integration into the rugged topography. The strategic placement allows the house to unfold across different levels, forming an L-shaped volume, with part of the structure cantilevered. The materiality characterized by light tones, wood, slats, and glass, reinforce the horizontality that, even on a sloping terrain, creates the illusion of fewer levels, enhancing the feeling of spaciousness and connection with the surroundings.
