the l-shaped ‘casa primus’ in portugal
Portuguese studio Lopes Pertile Architects designs this L-shaped Casa Primus as a mirrored image of its consumer — rigorous, systematic and clear. Perched atop a podium within the grass, the dwelling occupies a hilly panorama in Ponte de Lima and opens broadly out towards sweeping views of its rural environment. The architects remark: ‘The home is built-in with the location and belongs to it because of the topography design that enables the home to welcome the encompassing, in continuity with the panorama and vice versa.’

The cloistered rooms are organized right into a linear array, a cinematic row of frames opening to the horizon. Interiors stream harmoniously outward onto an interstitial deck, a threshold between the home and the garden.
