Description by PAULO MARTINS ARQ&DESIGN.
Year: 2018.
Area: 131 m².

Built on a plot of land measuring 30 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, it formally establishes itself as a habitable corridor, which, from the moment of entry, is filled with moments of darkness, light, surprise, discovery and compression.

The space is situated in one of the most typical and established neighbourhoods of Aveiro.

"The architect must get to know the people who will live in the planned house. From their needs, the rest inevitably follows." — Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
