Terraço dos Arcos

The construction of an immense spontaneous-looking forest, with a framework that allows the discovery of semi-hidden residential blocks and materialities that will know how to age, in a balanced dialogue between the built nature that will surround them. A garden that will become an extended reference in the Oeiras Urban Park — Parque dos Poetas and houses with a contemporary but conservative design. Semi-buried volumes partially hidden to the north, which reveal themselves to the south, torn by openings that are oriented to the view over the river.

The idea of providing housing with unique living conditions — A country house within the city, in an interstitial urban area of the Municipality of Oeiras.

TYPOLOGIES

3 T5 VILLAS
1 T3 APARTMENT
3 T3 DUPLEX APARTMENTS

All fractions are equipped with generous outdoor space, on a terrace or balcony. The fractions were also developed to privilege the rational functionality of the spaces, with the maximum use of the useful areas, evidencing the integration of the interior with the exterior and making the terraces, balconies and private gardens an extension of the house.

OUTER SPACE

INSPIRED BY GULBENKIAN GARDENS

The landscape design works as a whole, in a communion between the built and the natural. It involves, appropriates and absorbs the designed buildings into the landscape, working with the idea of transparency, of openness, recreating the idea of the relationship between the fireplace and the forest and the forest, in the sense of generating a landscape framework of naturalistic, spontaneous contemplation that favors leisure and living areas. A garden was imagined that, despite being designed today, seeks to re-establish the ecosystem that once existed there, with native vegetation adapted to the region. A forest, a resilient system that lives maintenance-free, chemical-free, water-free.
