Today’s newsletter features Pedro Domingos’ House in Oeiras, part of Lisbon metropolitan area. Since the plot faces a rail track and a large warehouse to the south, the main strategy was to organize the house around a central patio, core of the project.

Fluidly connected longitudinal spaces surround the colorful patio; the variated shapes of the interiors, with different heights, produce an irregular perimeter for the courtyard, which generates a complex outdoor space. In contrast, seen from outside the house is white and calm.
