ARX have created a private house in rural Romeirão, Portugal surrounded with small plantations and orchards. The site faces a steep slope overlooking a small river and mountains. From the Architects first visit, they have suggested a volume lying on the slope with its entrance facing the walkway and secluding itself from neighbours while retaining the views of the southern valley. The long volume whose elements create the primary exterior space becomes part of the terrain. Courtyards are excavated for intimacy and extra privacy.
