Blending Into Nature: A Half&Buried House With A Green Roof
Set in the lush terrain of Galamares, a small village in Sintra, Portugal, this minimalist home is more than a place to live, it's a personal milestone for architect Vasco Lima Mayer. Designed while still a student, it was his first independent commission, making it both intimate and deeply intentional. Every decision was shaped by the surrounding mountains, resulting in a home that embraces quiet simplicity and a deep connection to nature.
