Residential and Signature Properties

Set against the lush hillsides of Marco de Canaveses, 543. Paços de Gaiolo 01 is a contemporary countryside residence that redefines rural living through architectural restraint and environmental harmony. Designed for a family seeking tranquility without isolation, the home is anchored in simplicity, nature, and light.

The volume is low and grounded, intentionally modest from the road, yet reveals expansive spatial dynamics once inside. A minimalist concrete form floats subtly above the terrain, with warm wood detailing that softens the overall mass and invites an intimate dialogue between architecture and landscape.

The linear plan is organized to follow the slope of the site, creating a natural rhythm between public and private spaces. Floor-to-ceiling openings blur boundaries between interior and exterior, drawing in distant views of the valley and fostering a strong connection with the seasons.

🌿 Core Design Goals:

  • Flexibility Without Compromise: Open zones with mobile partitions, flexible desks, and reconfigurable meeting pods ensure maximum adaptability as team needs evolve.
  • Wellness Integration: Natural lighting, acoustic control, and biophilic design elements (green walls, indoor plants, organic materials) enhance comfort and reduce cognitive fatigue.
  • Identity & Brand Cohesion: Material choices, color palettes, and spatial rhythms reflect the client’s brand culture, creating a space that feels both professional and personal.
