Cool house by Samira Rathod Design Atelier is designed like a box, rather inward-looking with windows that are strategic to bring in the cool breeze and diffuse the sharp light. The south facade is kept fairly dead and the wind is allowed to pass from the southwest courtyards and escape from the northeast courtyard ventilating the entire house. One courtyard has a shallow waterbody that cools the incoming wind before it enters the house.

That is why the ascending direction of success is encoded in the white elements on the building’s façade. The volumetric spatial composition is a result of the analysis of the surrounding area. The soft and elegant shapes are an intended effect, which makes the building fit in the limited urban space in the central part of the city.

In Ílhavo House designed by M2.senos Arquitetos the exercise was to accommodate the demanding deployment area, avoiding the proximity of the street and the neighbors.

And so, the house leans against the neighboring gable to the west and develops to the east side, with a regular shape, occupying the land within the legal maximum.
