The SF and SA Houses are located on two adjacent lots of land in Ponta Delgada. These two houses feature image of straight lines, privacy and a strong relationship between the interior space and the garden.  Both are four-bedroom houses (T4) divided into two floors. The ground floor is occupied by common and functional areas – garage, bedroom/office, bathroom, laundry room, a large living room and a kitchen with an island that can be opened or closed through panels. On the first floor are located the most private areas with the bedrooms, bathrooms, and a suite.

Although similar in their interior configuration and organization, the two houses were developed separately, according to the intentions of each owner, and considering all the characteristics and details that they wanted and that make each house unique and completely adjusted to each owner’s needs and preferences.

The materials that were applied seek to translate the simplicity and minimalism of the forms and the architectural gesture, using a neutral color palette. Their impact assures a perfect harmony between the two houses and their integration into the surroundings.
