Farmhouse transformation
This typical long-gabled farmhouse is located in a protected village and has cultural and historical value.

A single extension across the full width of the long-gabled farmhouse brings a modern layer and an optimal connection to the outdoor. After all, it was the client's wish to involve the garden as much as possible in their daily life.

Transformation of old stable

The first floor of the new building can be read as a loose volume placed on top of the existing joists. This preserves the spaciousness of the stable, which is characterized by a structure of wooden beams.
The existing massive brick façade is replaced by a fully glazed curtain wall, which provides an optimal green experience of the wide expanse and the small river.

Casa Vale de Margem
Some houses are made to be looked at, others to be lived in, others again to be walked on.
Once a farmhouse, tucked into rural Algarve (Southern Portugal) and surrounded by the luscious vegetation of a natural reserve, is now a conceptual space tuned in with the land topography and flooded with light and air.
Roof therapy should be the next trend, crossing spacial boundaries is liberating, empowering, and challenging.
This’s probably why the roof of Casa Vale do Margem is walkable.
The entire house is about movement.
Stepping from one room to another is an escalation of geometrical perfection, the additional wing gave sinuosity to the structure and a long external retaining wall marked the transition betwe... More
