Casa Cabo de Vila, designed by Spaceworkers, is a residence reflecting the way of living of its owners in Portugal. The proposed volume materializes its shape through two concrete slabs with concave sides, allowing a light glass and wood wall to unroll between them, which is a positive and negative game that lets the house’s interior communicate with the exterior. There are no barriers between the different spaces, only an organic geometry that establishes hierarchies and allows mutual visual contact.
