Among the pines trees, a stone plateau is drawn to a scale that can no longer be understood as a courtyard.
The space embraces a wide area of trees. The house and its services define a recognizable solid border.
The interior of this boundary is inhabitable and characterized by light.
The more open side of the house creates a water tank through the connection of geometries.
A space that embraces its context is created through this closed extension. Source by Aires Mateus.
