The
house in Melides, Portugal designed by Pedro Reis represents the desire
for a holiday house as a getaway from the bustle of a big city. Two
volumes intersect, a modern white glazed rectangle with public areas
above, and a lower volume clad with earth colored concrete with private
rooms below.
To
leave in his area means “find a place”within the meaning of “a strong
geometric footprint”, hit by two volumes out of date in the form of a
“cross. ” The aim of this dialectical strategy to not only reduce the
“scale and presence” of construction, but also “split” the program in
two areas, a more “exuberant ” and exposed and a more “intimate” and
contained. If the top light volume recalls the image from bringing
modern house with large glazed areas open to the scenic landscape, the
lower volume “anchored”, covered with layers of earth-colored concrete,
pre-fabricated in situ, sits on the floor providing support and
stability to the house.
