Gerês house is located on a steep slope in the Caniçada Valley where there was a small house and a stream. The existing building was located in an upper level of the land eventually liable to small landslides, which determined its demolition and the relocation of the new construction.
▽ 总平面，坐落在山坡上的建筑伴溪流而生，建筑坡下的景观也得到精心的规划；site, the house is located on a steep slope where there was a stream passing by. the landscape under the slope is carefully designed.Gerês住宅面积充裕，内含功能齐全的各种空间，并将生活与工作的乐趣混合在一起，一层的大客厅相当透明，并与可看到美丽风景的大露台直接相连。越过大客厅尽端的庭院，是一间不拘一格，拥有齐墙高大门的高顶卧室。此外在二层还有两个相当紧凑的客卧。
The new construction relates with the land in a very spontaneous way, taking advantage of its steep slope, of the small stream and of the privileged view over the landscape. The access to the house is made from the upper level, ensuring a full view over the lot and over the building that ts on the ground like a rock. However, it’s inside the house where the visual range allows us to (re)discover the land below, characterized by the irregular stream’s route that results in a small lake at the lower level. The new construction is not looking for a conventional program, but rather large, functional and multipurpose spaces, where pleasure and work are mixed. The social space of the house assumes special relevance, materialized in a large central living room which extends to the outside through a large terrace. The kitchen and services are arranged on the same oor of the living room and the most intimate program comes at a second level, relating with the rst one in the form of a mezzanine.
▽ 通过室外大楼梯进入建筑双层高的大客厅，这里空间宽敞，可以工作也可以生活，大木门是主入口；the spacious double-height living room which is accessible by the staircase outside can be used as an office. the huge wooden door is the main entrance.
