Conceived as an interpretation of its sloping site, the house engages topography, material, and the act of inhabiting with intentional restraint.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The project begins with the extension of an existing retaining wall along the western edge of the plot. This structural element defines the building\u2019s elevation and establishes a raised platform where the home rests, aligning with the surrounding urban fabric. The placement allows the program to remain primarily at garden level and preserves the two-story profile that characterizes neighboring structures.<\/p>\n<p>images \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivotavares.net\/\">Ivo Tavares Studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">interiors open inward to a private patio<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Turning inward, the CL House is organized by Artequitectos around a sheltered central garden. A northern retaining wall reinforces the sense of enclosure and stabilizes the terrain to create a private and contemplative patio that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artequitectos.com\/\"><strong>architects<\/strong><\/a> design to shape the interior experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Programmatically, the house follows a clear hierarchy. The lower floor, partially embedded into the slope, accommodates service and support areas. Above, the main living spaces maintain a continuous relationship with the garden, with social areas opening directly to the outdoors. This layout lends an interior atmosphere that is breezy, sunlit, and private from neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>CL House rests on a raised platform shaped by a western retaining wall<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">artequitectos\u2019 palette of travertine and stacking stone<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the design of its CL House, the team at Artequitectos curates an expressive material palette. The lower level is enclosed by textural gabion walls, or caged partitions filled with stone. Interiors of exposed concrete provide structural clarity and a sense of permanence. Thermally modified wood introduces texture and warmth, balancing the coolness of concrete, while travertine accents add subtle elegance and durability.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Through these elements, Artequitectos achieves a measured synthesis of structure and atmosphere. The materials age gracefully, reinforcing the project\u2019s intent to integrate architecture with the passage of time. More than just a functional response, the residence encourages a peaceful daily atmosphere. The design reflects the client\u2019s desire for a contemporary home that favors a strong connection to the outdoors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>a central garden defines the home\u2019s inward-looking layout<\/p>\n<p>social zones open directly to the outdoors for fluid interior-exterior connections<\/p>\n<p>the lower floor is partially embedded into the slope for support spaces<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>main living areas maintain a continuous relationship with the garden<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>thermally modified wood introduces texture and warmth to the material palette<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the upper-level facade is shaped by travertine planes<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:\u00a0<\/strong>Habita\u00e7\u00e3o CL (CL House)<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artequitectos.com\/\">Artequitectos<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/artequitectos.oficial\/\">@artequitectos.oficial<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal<\/p>\n<p><strong>completion:\u00a0<\/strong>2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>photography:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a9\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivotavares.net\/\">Ivo Tavares Studio<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ivotavaresstudio\/\">@ivotavaresstudio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>builder:<\/strong> Construpovoa<br \/>\n<strong>engineering:<\/strong> PN10 Engenharia<br \/>\n<strong>lighting design:<\/strong> Artequitectos, Eng.
