Between exposure and enclosure, the house works on 3 fronts, 3 meter slope and organizes 3 floors plus an attic. The upper volume functions as a white monolith with excavations that expose a wooden interior. A basement fused into the topography supports it.

The “Salt Color House” is in front of the so-called Mira channel in Costa Nova do Prado. This place, due to the salinity of its waters and surrounding vegetation, the colors and odors that emanate, takes me back to my past, my parent’s house, where I grew up and lived for many years, under this atmosphere of marine nature.

It emerged from the alteration and expansion of a deteriorated Art Nouveau building constructed in the 20th century. The facade features various plant, animal, and human elements carved in limestone.
