HC House Harmonizes with Nature in Braga

Located in the parish of Barreiros, in Amares, the HC house is set in a landscape marked by the serenity of nature, where the architecture blends into the lush green of the countryside. This project reflects respect for the environment, while introducing a contemporary language that enriches the local landscape.

The villa is developed on a single floor and is organized into two main volumes, carefully designed to maximize functionality and comfort. The social space, with large windows that capture natural light and offer unobstructed views of the garden and pool, reveals an open-plan concept. The kitchen and living room come together in a large, welcoming space. Outside, the leisure area with pool and fire pit creates a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for getting together.

The private part of the house consists of three suites, with the master suite distinguished by the inclusion of an interior patio, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere. These interior patios, present throughout the house, allow a fluid interaction with nature, without compromising the privacy of the occupants.

The project’s architecture has been carefully designed to complement the land and the environment. Access for both pedestrians and cars has been designed to facilitate circulation, while maintaining harmony with the original land, which was once part of the former Quinta do Eirado.

This project reflects a commitment to creating a work that dialogues with nature, respects the environment and is a good example of how it can be used.
