House in Porto / Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira it has been modified: 2024-04-30 di
The city of Porto has increased in real estate value since summer 2010. The reason is a simple choice made by a civilian to design and build his personal residence and atelier in this simple city. The owner is an architect known simply as Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira.
This project was a detailed job. To quote Siza “I pursued an ideal and achieved a dream”. The award winning architect became the client director, supervisor, project coordinator and was more than happy to do this. The project, which began in 2004, was completed in 2010. A 6-year construction process of complete and absolute control, with a result that satisfied the aspirations and all the needs of the architects. A project that took time for every detail, to be carefully thought out, to put it into practice and then to modify it to make it work perfectly, but it also called for excellence, organization, laughter, frustration, drama, tension and great strength.
