QUINTA HOUSE

QUINTA HOUSE PORTUGAL
bY AREACOR ARCHITECTS
The house is situated in a luxury residential area overlooking the golf course at Quinta da Marinha, Cascais, Portugal, subject to restrictions imposed by the local rules, by the orientation of the lot and the house program.
The entire access to the main entrance door to the house is done with concrete slabs placed on top of the water. Submerged spotlights placed under these slabs gives a very interesting effect at night.

By putting up the rooms facing north, the result of the south facade is not interesting and to change it, we specified mirrored glass, behind a fence of steel tubes arranged randomly. This railing and mirrored glass also ensures the privacy of this space since the day reflection of the glass and confusion tubes inhibit visualization of what goes on inside the house. At night, artificial lighting focusing on the exterior mirror glass, using LED lamps has the same effect.

All the flat roofs were made with a solution that creates a sealed “water box”, where it accumulates a continuous sheet of water that ensures harmonization of temperature variation between day and night and summer and winter. This system also allows the use of rain water, forming a natural reserve of water for irrigation.

The introduction of an inner courtyard on the top floor provides interior of room’s solar exposure on east and west sides, since the main glazing of these rooms is exposed to the view from the north side.
