Adapting the building into an exhibition space resulted in an intervention that balanced the preservation and restoration of the existing structure with the introduction of new built elements that accommodate the distinct collections: sacred art, exceptional canes, and ivory paintings.

Integrated into the national park of Sintra-Cascais, the house is located near the Praia Grande beach, in Rodízio, Colares. The project aims to build the space (of the house) from the void created between the pine trees, based on the idea of fusion/alliance between the built element and the natural space. The starting point – the existing pine trees – generated a volumetric composition of different volumes, where each of these volumes corresponds to different types of usage. Its disposition on the ground takes into account the sun’s orientation, the topography, and the position of the trees (that were meant to keep) providing, at the same time, a system of visual relations with the Serra de Sintra – located to the east.

Following on from the conversion of the horse barn into housing in 2012, the Casa Mãe project is the second phase of the strategy that aims to redevelop the “Sítio da Lezíria” – a former agricultural property in Alcácer do Sal.
Based on a logic that intends to reconcile the rehabilitation and the recovery of the existing construction by adapting it to new functions and by introducing a new body in the continuity of the existing, the project merges two temporal periods into one – superimposing new spatialities, materialities, and identities.

Lisbon-based architecture and design studio Atelier Data have completed work on a residential project in Portugal’s Algarve region, transforming a former family-run granary mill into a five-bedroom holiday home.
Casa Cabrita Moleiro (Cabrita Mill House) was once operated by the Cabrita family’s grandfather, who led a typical rural Algarve lifestyle. The region has since become a popular holiday destination, and the mill stood unused. The site was composed of a series of traditional rural dwellings: a small house; a wind well for milling wheat; a threshing floor to harvest grain; and a small corral for livestock. Atelier Data, driven by the desire to repurpose the existing structures, integrated them into the new design, creating a series of interior and exterior spaces that celebrate the surrounding landscape while providing a series of private areas.

In Cercal House time and space are not separate dimensions but rather interdependent.
There is the time that corresponds to the cycles of nature, the time of who inhabits the place and there is the space that is shaped and influenced by it. Continue reading Atelier Data
