Concrete and glass are used throughout the interior and exterior of this holiday home in northern Portugal, which local studio Carvalho Araújo designed to blend in with its woodland setting.
Located in Vieira do Minho in the district of Braga, Casa na Caniçada is a second home built on a densely wooded 0.75-acre site next to the Caniçada reservoir.
An existing building of poor design and construction quality was removed to make way for the three-storey house designed by local office Carvalho Araújo.
Very cool example of brutalist architecture embedded in the nature. However, actual dayli living in a concrete box must be an acoustic nightmare.
