Pa.te.os: Guesthouses Lost in Portugal’s Primosfera
Introducing Pa.te.os, a set of guesthouses located in Portugal designed by Aires Mateus & Associados in 2020.
These guesthouses are integrated into the Primosfera landscape like ruins lost in time and designed to take full advantage of the nature surrounding them. The walls, as boundaries, evoke houses and the unique matter used to draw the enclosures creates tension between them with the spaces generating openings and negatives in these presences.
About Pa.te.os
Guest Houses for Primosfera
The buildings blend into the landscape like ruins lost in time. Walls, as boundaries, evocative of houses. A unique matter draws these enclosures in tension between them. Walls crossed by spaces generating openings, negatives in these presences. The whole design takes advantage of nature, integrating itself into it.
