This is a two levels house constructed by Portuguese Architect Bak Gordon occupies an unlevelled terrain, bringing just one level to the street front side.

The house occupies a longitudinal band centred in the plot, that defines to main gardens – one at the entrance and plain; the other one, near the scarp and facing the city. when arriving, only four volumes appear, welded together with a full straight lower level. this operation allow us to diminish the impact of the 700m2 construction area, and contributes to the organization of the house program. the four volumes also define several outside spaces that enhances the house living.

    Hi,

    I will confess that visually I prefer a more classic style.
    From what I read, what mostly got my attention was the ceilings’ height, something that I appreciate since nowadays, homes have really low ceilings.
    Fortunately I live in a hold house with relatively high ones.

    Kind regards,

    José
