Treetop Walk Serralves / Carlos Castanheira e Clara Bastai, Arqtos
We search for new, never seen, never felt views and we long for, however brief, some panoramic view of Foz do Douro and the infinite Atlantic.
Quinta da Faísca – Tourist Accommodation / Carlos Castanheira e Clara Bastai, Arqtos
A concrete slab, connected to the ground and then supported by metal beams, created the veranda, above which, four small apartments were erected.
Everything in timber: wall structures which blend with ceilings, the windows, the external cladding.
Roof and flashings in zinc. Exquisite metal work.
Adpropeixe House / Carlos Castanheira Arquitectos
The house in Adpropeixe is a habitable viewing platform, elevated off the ground, but integrated and installed in the site.
The land, the area, the Reserve, have all been improved since the building of the house commenced, not only because of the house, but also because of the occupancy that it brought about, does now and will continue to bring about.
