The family house designed by CHP Architects in Rato, solves all the necessary aspects of a house with a furniture-block in the center of each floor freeing the walls and creating an open and illuminated space thanks to the interior design, of pure white combined with light wood, and to light entering from the front façade and the back one.
Description of the project by CHP Arquitectos
The design consists of the refurbishment and expansion of an existing building in one of Lisbon's historic neighborhoods. The vernacular characteristics of the front facade were refurbished and clarified.
Inside the design aims to create and free space on each floor, enhancing its size and scale, and creating a dialogue between the front and back facades, enabling light to enter through both directions.
All technical aspects inherent to a contemporary family house are resolved through a block at the centre of each floor, liberating the side walls, unveiling both facades.
The back facade retrieves a rhythm created by windows and balconies, so typical in Lisbon's historic architecture.
A house privileging simplicity, flooded with light, highlighting the importance given to the selection of materials and to the details they imply.
