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.
