This project consists of 27 single-family dwellings built under a controlled-price regime, and the basic aim was therefore to optimize its costs effectiveness. The design seeks to enhance the versatility of uses and subsequent potential modifications to the physical features of the spaces.

The operation area, which has a gentle eastward slope down to the lake, covers13.202m2, inserted in a transition zone of the Vila das Sete Cidades.

The elongated trapezoidal allotment has a street with a line of two-story buildings on its western side, agricultural plots to the north and east, and a forested area with no buildings at all to the south.

    ¿Alguien sabría decirme como se impermeabiliza este tipo de cubiertas?

    Me parecen unas casas tristes y de una sencillez artificiosa (basta compararlas en la foto 24 con la naturalidad de sus vecinas de teja y revoco blanco). Formas “perfectas” -en el sentido gramatical de “totalmente acabadas” que aceptan mal cualquier intervención del usuario (ampliar una ventana o abrir un hueco adicional, añadir un pequeño “galpón”, darle una manita de pintura…), por mucho que en las cuatro lineas de texto se destaque su versatilidad de uso y potencial de cambio.
