La Maison – Cabo de Vila

Where the Heart Is

This isn’t your typical home! Cabo de Vila embraces and reflects the surrounding landscape. Two concrete slabs with concave sides sit atop walls made of darkened wood and floor-to-ceiling windows. Natural light seeps through the cut-out roof to provide sunlight and warmth to the courtyard, while the unique shape of the house stretches across the land.

Cabo de Vila is located in the picturesque hilltop town of Paredes, Portugal. It was designed by spaceworkers® architects. Visit spaceworkers.pt to see more projects. | Photo courtesy of spaceworkers
