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.
