Windowless House in Portugal by Aires Mateus & Associados
By Admin - Categories: Houses, Interior Design, Selected Work 2 comments
Located in Leiria, Portugal, this unique minimalist white house was designed by architects firm Aires Mateus & Associados.
“The private areas are at street level under the plot, around a central courtyard with rooms opening to private patios in a intimate environment.
The living rooms are around a void, that collects light from above and gazes the castle at the city center.”

I can ‘get’ the windowless and underground elements – that’s no problem – but, HOW do these people actually LIVE?
There are beds for sleeping – I see tables for eating, I’m sure there are appliances for preparing food – but, There Is More to Life than that! Do they read – do they have hobbies – do they Create Anything? This house is naked, BARE and without SOUL.
It’s a little too bland for my taste
