The Concrete House Set Amid The Rolling Landscape Of Rural Portugal Near The Town Of Monsaraz Dug Into A Hillside

The concrete house set amid the rolling landscape of rural Portugal near the town of Monsaraz dug into a hillside. Dug into a hillside and concealed by a green roof. The only visible elements of the building’s presence are the cantilevered roof jutting out towards the lake. And the white-painted circular light wells, but even these are only visible from above. Accessed through a staircase that uncannily disappears into the ground, the house is comprised of three subterranean bedrooms.

That open up onto two circular patios, and two communal rooms, a living space and a kitchen. Enclosed by the concave mass of the cantilevered roof structure, the terrace is a cathedral-like. Domed space whose sculptural coherence and massive height is juxtaposed with the vastness of the unfolding landscape.

Featuring a circular skylight formed by an inverted dome. The “scooped out” volume of the terrace attests to the architects’ love for geometry and compositional precision. The concrete house set amid the rolling landscape of rural Portugal near the town of Monsaraz.

While green roof integrates the house into landscape, the exposed part of the concrete structure stands out against grassy hillside. With its board-formed texture reflecting the starkness of natural landscape. Same brutalist sensibility carried on inside where exposed concrete floors and ceilings are complemented by wooden panelling on the walls. Painted white in the living and kitchen areas, but left in its natural finish in the corridor.

White paint is also applied to the bedroom walls, as well as the circular courtyards they open up onto. Which also feature white tiling and white pebbles, in order to increase the amount of reflected daylight entering the rooms.

Underpinned by a minimalist aesthetic, complete with hidden storage seamlessly integrated into the building fabric. Monastic austerity of the interior design mirrors the beautiful emptiness, surrounding countryside whilst imbuing the house with a contemplative ambience.

巴黎 La Fondation 將一座 20 世紀 60 年代停車場重新轉化為融合酒店、康體與文化活動的複合式場所

巴黎 La Fondation 將一座原本只為汽車存在的 60 年代停車場,重新轉化為融合酒店、康體、餐飲與文化活動的複合式公共場所,讓粗獷混凝土結構再次回到城市日常之中。     巴黎 Les Batignolles 街區中的 La Fondation,將 20 世紀 60 年代辦公樓與停車場重新整合,轉化為結合酒店、餐飲、康體與文化活動的複合式場所。PCA-STREAM 保留原有混凝土骨架,讓這座原本服務車流的建築,重新回到城市日常之中。 適應性再利用專案往往傾向保留原有建築外殼,再透過新的材料與立面語彙柔化舊建築的工業感。但位於巴黎的 La Fondation,選擇了另一種方式。PCA-STREAM 並未刻意隱藏停車場原有的粗獷結構,而是保留混凝土框架,重新整理立面、動線與公共空間,讓原本封閉的停車場與商辦建築,轉化為更開放的 mixed-use development。最有趣的是,那些曾經服務車流的空間,如今反而成為人們停留與交流的場所。
