Forja House, Cinfães, Portugal | 2018, Pablo Rebelo - Pedro Pita, Portugal

Architects: Pablo Pita Architects
Design team: Pablo Rebelo, Pedro Pita
Client: Paulo Pereira

Forja is a small vacation house. A succession of slopes characterizes the plot and defines the typology of the solution. The house is embedded in the hill facing a privileged valley landscape.
The narrow design allows contemplating the view without compromising the best solar exposition. The house assumes its contemporary nature, aiming for a formal purification inserted in nature with a simple gesture. The interior is characterized by the simplicity and modesty of the materials, reflecting the clear typological design.
The result is a fluid typology, with living, dining, and kitchen interconnected as an informal and contiguous area.
