Paulo Martins Arquitectura: House seeks privacy while dialoguing with nature. Madalena House is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, in the parish of Madalena.
Composed of an overlapping of pure volumes, its arrangement corresponds to the desire of creating a visual barrier between living spaces and the street, allowing maximum privacy to be achieved.

Located in the south of France, the land surrounded by vegetation had an interesting slope and good orientation. The plant screen is an asset of privacy, but without a view, the challenge of the CVD house was to seek the light and go beyond the trees.

Typology
Residential › House
The house is a superposition of full volume on a reading of emptiness. Located on a narrow plot, the construction made of poured concrete is made up of two levels. The ground floor subtracts from the volume by asserting emptiness. Generously glazed, this level allows an almost natural relationship between inside and outside.
