Project Description
Project description provided by Inception - Located in the parish of Barreiros, Amares, HC House is set in a landscape marked by the serenity of nature, where architecture blends with the lush green of the countryside. This project reflects respect for the surrounding environment, while introducing a contemporary language that enriches the local landscape.
The villa develops on a single floor and is organized into two main volumes, carefully designed to maximize functionality and comfort. The social area, with large windows that capture natural light and offer unobstructed views of the garden and pool, reveals an open-space concept. The kitchen and living room connect in a large, welcoming space. Outside, the leisure area with swimming pool and fire-pit creates a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for socializing.
The private area of the house is made up of three suites, of which the master suite stands out for its inclusion of an interior patio, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere. These interior patios, present throughout the house, allow a fluid interaction with nature, without compromising the privacy of the occupants.
The architecture of the project has been carefully designed to blend in with the terrain and surroundings. The accesses, both pedestrian and automobile, were designed to facilitate circulation, while maintaining harmony with the original land, once part of the old Quinta do Eirado.
This project reflects the commitment to create a work that dialogues with nature, respects the environment and is a good example of how it can be used.
