Casa da Azoia / SAMF Arquitectos

closed

Text description provided by the architects.This house is set upon a promontory, Cape Espichel, south of Lisbon. It sits close to high cliffs and, even if at ground level you don´t see the sea, you can sense it's presence by the salted smell, the humidity of the winds that sweep over from the Northwest, and by the harsh reflected light which seems to come from all around. The lot is at the edge of a low density village, with an irregular geometry resulting from the construction of a peripheral road, looking southwards to a nature protected area.
