portuguese architecture

this house is absolutely stunning
visually, it just captures your eye, especially the first picture because the lights inside the house compliment the dusk. plus, the amazing suspended structure on the left side. sigh.
aaand i have a thing for bungalows.just check out the underneath view of the suspended side - imagine the planning it took to get this right. and still looking so beautiful. did i mention this is over a river? the cevado river to be exact.

pretty bathroom. pretty morning light. pretty stones.

i think what i love so much about this is the usually not-so-nice but in-this-case-nice cement exterior. it just sits in front of the natural surroundings but doesn't impede too much, if that makes sense.

looooove the bath.

inside outside architecture. bring nature inside. love it
love the use of windows to use natural light = minimise lighting = minimise carbon footprint = extra love from eva. and nature-loving; no trees were cut in the making. despite the fact that the house is situated in a national park. awesome!

aaaaand i love this last photo. its just. so cool.
and especially hwo it shows the overhanging part of the house. it reminds me of a long match box. anyone?
