Forja House
Forja is a small vacation dwelling, set in a Portuguese village inside the outskirts of the Douro River. The house is defined by a single gesture, embedded in the slope and facing the privileged valley landscape.
The process is set by the seeking of a typologic depuration and formal abstraction as an integrating option. Conceptually it results in an open-space and reduced distribution area – a dwelling condensed to its needs, enhancing its relation with the site through wide and strategic openings that frame the surrounding and horizon.
