Excerpt: BD Houses by Esquissos – Arquitectura e Consultoria features a unique approach to twin dwellings that prioritizes privacy and exterior connection. The project blends traditional Portuguese architecture with contemporary design, focusing on creating a relationship between street and house scales. The design allows the residences to rise as part of the landscape, mitigating the impact on the surroundings.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] In a different approach to the typical set of twin dwellings, the proposal presents three isolated houses that favor the connection with the private exterior spaces, in an intention of privacy that allows one to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.
The proposals intend to depict the archetype of traditional Portuguese architecture with a contemporary approach in the way the elevations are explored. This approach is notorious in the design of a slab that makes it possible to create a relationship between the scale of the street and the scale of the houses, mitigating the impact on the surroundings.
This gesture allows the houses to rise as a part of the landscape and not as a dissonant element, forming part of a whole.
