situated on a hilltop in obidos, portugal is ‘casa mb’ recently completed by portugese firm brito rodriguez arquitectura.

the horizontal intervention provides a silent dialogue with the surroundings, a simple expression in a landscape characterized by continuous and steady pastoral hills. there are spaces of intimacy, reflection and contemplation directing the view outwards and beyond its limits to experience the subtle sensory impressions of the environment.

two volumes articulated by the main entrance, reach their greatest expressions in the nuances of light and shadow. the white volumetric composition accentuates its lightness and the relationship it seeks to achieve with the serene atmosphere.
