Making a material like concrete seem weightless has been an initiative
of many modern architects. The Portuguese team of P&R
Arquitectos managed to balance imposing aggregate blocks over a
glass-enclosed living space in their design for Casa PR.
Additional concrete sections cantilever out over the slope of the
terrain.
Geometric openings cut through deliberate interior spaces allowing
light to penetrate and shadows to move throughout each room.
Rough stone walls raise above polished wood floors. A mix of
surfaces and materials combine to create a variety of visually tempting
interior and exterior spaces. By Andrew J Wiener
