Some words about Sobreiras Altas by Arch. Manuel Aires Mateus

“Sober volumes define the space.

The measurement on the ground is given by the tension between the buildings.

In the “imprisoned” space, one part is water. Another projected dimension will be given by the vegetation that will refine the size of the various voids.

Inside, a systemic sequence repeats the spaces. The doors are always the same. The windows are always the same.

The materiality merges with the earth that surrounds this artifice.”
