LGM House
Two houses are built on a hillside overlooking the Tâmega river. This house lies on the same spot of a ruined former farmers building. Its precise location is determined by the existing large granite rocks. The house is all opened to a double-height covered porch overlooking the river. Concrete ‘brise-soleil’ protect from the sun. The other facades are built with the stones cut out of the site and also with the remains of the existing ruin. It results in a very elemental construction as it is common in the nearby rural buildings. The execution design was literally drawn on the walls during construction works, as to better adjust it to the local workers.
