Excerpt: Casa PS is a residential project designed by the architectural firm Inception Architects Studio. The house features are developed over three floors, facing North and descending the land, following and ‘traversing’ the unevenness that it offers, in a coherent functional hierarchy in height. Whose spatial progression is made in a descending direction: functional Area, social Area and private Area.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by Architect] PS House is located in a low-density urban parish on Braga’s outskirts, a Portugal city. The land has an approximately rectangular shape and is located in an area of the accentuated slope, with unevenness and sinuous morphology. It is oriented in the North/Northwest direction. It faces a small valley area, next to a small urban agglomeration and some cultivated fields.
The house features are developed over three floors, facing North and descending the land, following and ‘traversing’ the unevenness that it offers, in a coherent functional hierarchy in height. Whose spatial progression is made in a descending direction: functional Area, social Area and private Area.
The house rests on the ground in a ‘terrace’ solution, following its unevenness and morphology, in a volume defined in three fitted blocks. Each of these blocks corresponds to three different adapted areas of the house, which are organized in a simple and not complex program:
Functional Area [above the threshold: 100.00 m]
Social Area [at an elevation of 97.00m]
Private Area [at an elevation of 94.00m]
The entire interior of the house seeks complementary green space and extensive views. Its location shows the utmost respect for its surroundings and natural environment, as well as the use of the most favourable area of the land for the site of the building and its idyllic areas outdoors.
