Casa Alenquer

Remodel, extension and conversion

I found an elevated enclosure, with a wall that only rises high on the street side, and a house closing off the space with a majestic sense of being. Features that, to my subconscious, belong to a picturesque imaginary. A built garden, raised above the street. Romantic in feel, with an incredible view. A water tank would make it perfect. Maybe the tank could be sensed from the street. I must draw it close to the boundary. I like it when these projects have a central element. The tank, the pergola, and some benches around it, forming a beautiful composition. Every piece around it should have its own singularity. The living room and kitchen sit together, with a generous opening. In summer it can stay open, and everything becomes outdoor.
