The house designed by Hous3 is located in the city of Santo Tirso, belonging to the Porto District, in the north of the Portuguese country. Specifically, it is located on a small hill, which is striking, as it can be seen from the road, due to its dark silhouette that forms a great contrast to the natural environment.
The minimal lines seek to reinterpret the stereotype of the traditional house with a gabled roof. This traditional roof typology models the interior spaces.

Hous3 designed a house in which there is an important contrast between the interior, simple and minimalist, and the exterior, dark with a simple shape, whose graphic silhouette draws attention to the landscape in which it is located.
The house is characterized by its arrangement according to a northeast-southeast axis, in a longitudinal direction, oriented towards the best views of the place. A smaller and thicker volume is attached to the main volume, which can be interpreted as an allusion to the links that are traditionally constant additions to the main house.

Description of project by Hous3
From the road you can see the house, on a small hill, with a dark silhouette in sharp contrast to its natural environment, offering a wide view over Santo Tirso. Its simple lines are the reinterpretation of the stereotype of the traditional Portuguese house, gable roof.
We started by defning a northeast-southeast axis in the longitudinal direction of the land and oriented in the best view of the place. And in this linear orientation, the main volume is arranged, in a playful reconfguration of the traditional house, it becomes remarkable in the landscape. A smaller, fat volume is attached to this one, which in addition to completing the programmatic requirements of housing is also an allusion to the annexes that traditionally are constant additions to the main house.
This volume departs from the entrance of the lot to create a kind of external decompression atrium. And in the simplicity of the composition of these two volumes, an intuitive understanding of spaces is promoted, inviting us to enter.
In terms of the program's distribution, the reception lobby is the frst point of contact with the house, leading us to the central and common areas of the house: dining room, living room and kitchen, spacious and generous with lots of natural light promoted by negative space, which is used as the extension of the indoor room to the outside, to the pool and outdoor dining room, taking advantage of the rhythmic play of light in the afternoon.
This central block also allows us to separate two spaces that were to be independent:
- For the south-east, the private area, a corridor distributes the rooms and a small ofce, all of them with exterior spaces accessible through glass doors that balance the visual and physical connections to the landscape of each room;
- To the northeast, the technical areas of housing and work, with double height;
Over these two areas, the traditional shape of the gable roof allowed the interior spaces to be modeled to complement the nature of the programs, creating a place for reading and studying.
Due to the simplicity and relevance of its interior design, with light, minimalist and smooth walls, it offers a peaceful living space. In contrast to the dark exterior, where the black plant tile and the pine together with the simple shape of the building create a striking graphic silhouette against the landscape.
On the whole, through the juxtaposition of its facade materials, we get closer to the natural, the beautiful, where we hope that its inhabitants are happy.
