House in Belas by CHP Arquitectos:
“The design intends to express a contemporary look onto the main aspects of traditional Portuguese architecture, with special attention to the balance and harmony between each building.
The house consists of five different bodies, linked through passages.
Spaces between each body create a series of relationships, distances and views are generated, providing a rich and diverse atmosphere.
The social areas are located in the core of it all, benefitting from the surrounding environment, and allowing a simple and functional distribution throughout the house.”
