PROJECT LOCATION

Santa Comba, Sobreira, Paredes, Portugal

​

This project hides the story behind this weekend home for those who have never known it before. The several alterations occurred in the 80's and 90´s that has transformed its humble original prefab structure, didn't make sense anymore. The house has become insufficient at the same time as the family were growing, and the opportunity of taking a more serious attitude emerged.

The original volume was demolished and the latest built structures were refurbished and absorbed by the new construction.
The new house, implemented exactly within the previous perimeter, re-establish the dialogue with its maintained exterior spaces, and the memory of the last 30 years remains live for those who have always known it.
