Text description provided by the architects.The municipality of Esposende is located on the north coast of Portugal. Land of sea, river and mountains has been occupied for over 300 thousand years, and it combines ecosystems and landscapes under the same common denominator, the north wind or as it is known here “Nortada”. Casa no Campo is located in the agricultural parish ofGandraand intended to be a home for a family of four plus two that wanted to escape the city life. The plot, with a North/South orientation, is located in a predominantly agricultural territory, corn fields that change from green to golden and where more or less vernacular farmers' houses flourish.The client desired an easy, unpretentious house that responded to the imaginary country experience, with a strong relationship with the exterior, which would age well and respectes the site.
