The house in Moreira (Portugal) by Phyd Arquitectura is built around three project themes: the continuous and enlacing space, which incorporates different inhabiting functions; the time, which incorporates the movement and permanence; the materiality, which incorporates the antithesis weight/lightness.
A concrete volume, from which is subtracted the space to enter and the south patios. Patios enable continuity between different spaces of the house, interior/exterior, behaving like a sun clock, alternating solid and diffuse light.
The space articulates compression and horizontality, with decompression and verticality. In a precise exercise, of measure and proportion.
The materiality is used in its most essential expression, conferring to the house weight and lightness simultaneously.
