SITE GALLERY

The project obtained a positive judgement for its silent nature. The candidate buries the building under the ground level and thus does not change the skyline of Mértola, characterizing itself as a pure line in the panorama. Its strong and amazing relation with water and rock underlines an approach that respects the context. The project “resonates” with the landscape and embodies the spirit of the site with high sensitivity and elegance. The decision to develop all of the building in an underground level permitted to frame a new unconventional point of view. The alignments and the references to the site are well arranged and the formal result amplifies the evocative character of the environment. It is a high spirit approach and at the same time respectful of the historical context. Extremely delicate project. The work of the frame and the point of view reveals the site. It is the project of ground that speaks to the rock in the sky and in the bank. The man becomes the vibrating heart of silent architecture
