PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Considering the area of intervention, the

program pre-set with the client as well as other

physical and legal constraints, it is proposed

the change and rehabilitation of two existing

houses on the property trying to meet the

needs of its future inhabitants, with particular

attention not only to the organization of the

interior spaces as well as in how they articulate

with the surroundings.

One element to note is definitely an old lime

kiln that exists on the place, proposing to his

recovery and rehabilitation so that it is

assumed as a reference to those arriving at

the property.

For the alteration and rehabilitation of the two

existing homes, our proposal primarily seeks to

ensure the conditions necessary for its livability

and use by the client and his family, and for

that needed some "fitness" given the existing

low areas.

In the mentioned first house, we propose one

house unit spread across three divisions

rooms, kitchen and 2 IS, and the second

house, also proposed the creation of one

house unit but it spread over only 2 divisions

rooms, kitchen and an IS.

In relation to outdoor spaces, the proposal

also seeks to emphasize and highlight certain

aspects and features of existing buildings,

particularly in terms of materials and coatings,

thus achieving maintain the characteristics of a

country house. However, it was also our desire

to integrate some current materials, thus

achieving not only maintain its original

characteristics but also giving it a more

contemporary and modern look.
