100 planos architecture has designed the 'jorge guedes’ house in póvoa de varzim, portugal.

located on top of a valley, jorge guedes’s house appears as a large window hovering over
the landscape. the building rises to the principles of aggregation volumetric patents in
vernacular architecture of the region.

the project is composed of three bodies overlooking the surrounding environment.
the overall structure of the form is in a 'Y' form. the intersecting arms both act as the
entry and distribution points, separating the public of the private areas.

the spaces that are not facing the valley - the bathroom, laundry and kitchen - are fitted
with a small orange patio that allows them to have direct sunlight without creating imbalances
in elevation.

That kitchen is terrible.
quality of interior spaces as well
SdV   12.28.10
excelente trabalho
Acácio Viegas   12.28.10
I think it suffers from a poor presentation
dbkii   12.28.10
photography is very bad indeed, what a shame
Diogo   12.28.10
OK, but outside of the images that are lacking, i quite like the idea of having a house in that shape.
jess   12.28.10
The presentation is extremely poor, design boom should have more extrict requirements...afterall we are all designers and presentation is IMPORTANT!
LGF   12.28.10
I think the design is excellent. As for presentation - it does detail the house. LGF I'd like to see your work.
Bradley   12.29.10
personally, I like it for simple life. real life is more important than presentation on photo. cheer up!

what a poor job, this architect always make houses in an Y shape... and this one seems to be the worst of all them.
Marco Alves   12.29.10
I find this house a very pleasing design
and well suited to the site. Other than more
windows and perhaps an interior courtyard I
think it presents a real living space which
would be suitable to any type of graded site.
