location: rua de são paulo; matriz - horta
project:
expansion of an existing single family house.
due to the need of increasing the number of existing bedrooms, we chose to build a new body, of contemporary language, for the social rooms, transforming the existing ones into bedrooms. in this new construction we chose to maximize the window area on the east side, in order to take full advantage of the views at the pico mountain and sea.
as opposed to the existing building, the new construction has the minimum divisions between compartments, in order to increase its versatility.
