STEPPED HOUSES

Chaín, Gondomar (2005-08)

The project aims to achieve a quality environment differing from what is being offered in private promotion works. The topography and the existing trees in the field play a great role and are incorporated into the project as elements of the house.

Each dwelling is resolved on two levels; it is accessed from the street through an inner path that leads to the lower garden level, in an open space to leave the car or for children to play in winter…

In the upper level the housing program is organized, together with an upper garden and a terrace.
