Casa Pinhal: a renovation by João Tiago Aguiar in Sintra that deepens the connection with nature and light
The essence of the project lies in balance: between shadow and light, full and empty, shelter and openness.
The architectural studio Fragmentos designs a house in Cascais, transferring the atmosphere of silence and serenity that surrounds it to the interior.
The surroundings are characterised by an extensive pine forest and an atmosphere of silence and serenity. The layout takes advantage of the surroundings, with a predominance of maritime pines and a dense vegetation cover, transferring this atmosphere to the interior of the house.
The Portuguese architects of SIA design Casas da Encosta, where sand, lime, and wood flow through and unify spaces conceived for retreat and repose
The project follows the model of a sprawling patio house, with a central garden-courtyard around which the five homes are quietly rooted—creating a private, peaceful, and welcoming environment.
