Set among stone pines in Colares, overlooking vineyards and the slopes of the Sintra hills, the house is the transformation of an existing dwelling into a contemporary home, open to its garden and the surrounding landscape.

Each wing has its own expression: one, finished in white render, holds the bedrooms and opens to the garden through large glazed openings; the other, clad in vertical natural timber boards, contains the social spaces. Both share a hipped ceramic-tile roof that anchors the house in... More

The project is located in the city of Loja, Ecuador, at the edge of the urban area, on a site of approximately 6 hectares owned by the Loja Chamber of Commerce.
