House in Douro Valley / MJARC Arquitectos
There are only a few instances in an architectural career where a client and an architect?s vision unify into an immaculate and complete expression of art and architecture. We were very fortunate to work with a couple who, devoted to the ideals of minimalism?s stark allure, asked us to design a house in the Douro , located on the stunning views over Douro valley .

The desire to interfere as little as possible with the visual topography of the landscape prompted to attach the house to the ground and find façade and roof solutions with a direct relationship to the surroundings. The idea of a "crouching building" guides the decisions concerning volume, position, occupation, exterior outfit and façade claddings.
