The location where the project is inserted is unique, embraced in the North by the Douro River and in the South by a dense green zone. The aim was to make the most of the views to Porto and the Douro and, at the same time, to incorporate the nature and the atmosphere of the place in the built – visual, olfactive, tactile experiences. We knew what we wanted: to include in the definition of inhabiting all these experiences; the creation of a dwelling that would activate the senses of its occupier.
