Atelier Rua proposes a linear element for connecting entire project, it consists of a main gallery with access to outside and serves umbilical cord that connects all the facilities inside the program. The design of the gallery is formed by the serialization of pieces that give continuity and allow that the curves develops naturally.
Description of the project by Atelier Rua
Along the Tejo (Tajo) River and across from the city of Abrantes, the plot naturally establishes a border between the intricate layout of the surrounding houses and the river.
This project presents a footprint that takes advantage of the morphology of that frontier and becomes a unifying, continuous structure. This new building is capable of containing the whole functional program and involve all the pre-existing structures on the north front of the plot , creating a continuous, organic and smooth surface. Its structure, open and permeable, allows a direct and constant relation with the green surroundings throughout the whole extension of the building and all areas of the program.
The whole structure is walkable along a gallery that communicates with the outside and that allows access to all program areas on the inside. This gallery is marked by a façade composed of a repetition of vertical elements, a louvre that creates a physical barrier that is interrupted by openings that allow access to the camping site.
