ACB House

Set beside the S. Roque Canal, the house reinterprets the pitched-roof silhouette of Aveiro’s traditional buildings in a raw, essential language.
A timber skin wraps the façade, filtering light and giving privacy from the city.
Behind it, another world unfolds.
Living room, kitchen and courtyard become one continuous space, doubling the living area and forming the heart of family life.
Concrete, timber, stone and vegetation in their most natural state.
A family home protected from the city, yet open to light, sky and time.
