Casa 103

A column of natural light as a core element turns a house into a living object. 103 house in Algarve, Portugal, depicts a different perspective.

Several terraces climbing up the terrain stretch and enhance the visual connection of the different parts of the house and, ultimately, from the upper levels to the horizon. The rich scenography and... More
