J.M. House

Location: Ovar

Date: 2013

Architects: José A. Lopes da Costa | Tiago Meireles

The house has a “U” shape and faces essentially towards the south into a patio and garden around which the entire house is organized.
The three volumes are articulated around a garden and a partially covered patio, which serves as an outdoor living and dining area.
The house is covered with a light colored solid brick that marks its horizontality and graphics. The west façade has a system of sliding doors in vertical aluminum profiles which, in addition to providing shade, also give privacy to the street façade.
