Casa dos Santos位于一个地区，其特点是海拔高，可以看到圣若昂-达马德拉山和弗雷塔山。面向东方的景观的重要性是客户提出的唯一前提，他希望从房子的所有内部隔间都能欣赏到这种景观。
Casa dos Santos is located on a region characterized by its elevation with views over the hill of São João da Madeira and the Serra da Freita. The importance of the landscape facing east was the only premise placed by the client, who wanted to make it possible to enjoy this view from all the interior compartments of the house.
这个位置是由土地的地形自然形成的，房子诞生在中间，避免了边界的平行，寻求与景观和等高线对齐，并尊重现有的树木，以便将建筑与周围的自然拥抱在一起，与这个地方创造一种亲密的关系。
The location is naturally suggested by the topography of the land and the house is born in the middle, avoiding the parallelism of its boundaries, seeking alignment with the landscape and contour lines and respecting the existing trees, in order to embrace the construction with the surrounding nature , creating an intimate relationship with the place.
房子的体积是由它的延伸部分来理解的，长度为26米，倾斜的屋顶向天井倾斜。地面上的房子被一个平屋顶体量拦截，构成了车库和扩展的平面盖，保护了房子的主入口。
The volume of the house is understood by its extension, twenty-six meters in length and a sloping roof tilting towards the patio. The ground house is intercepted by a flat roof volume that constitutes the garage and the extended plane cover, which protects the main entrance of the house.
倾斜在天井上的屋顶成长为一个扩展的钢筋混凝土盖，允许室内空间和室外天井之间的过渡，这同时也是一个大型日光浴室和一个自然延伸的室内空间，在这里可以看到玻璃皮肤后面的景观。
The sloping roof that leans over the patio grows into an extended reinforced concrete cover allowing the transition between the interior spaces and the outdoor patio, which is at the same time a large solarium and a natural extension from the interior spaces where the landscape is seen, behind a glass skin.
在外部，在东部，两个连续的体量揭示了不透明的街区（车库所在）和透明的客厅、厨房和卧室的延伸之间的双重性。在西面，长度为35米，开口最小，用作固定的窗户，以加强和强调外部和内部之间的整合，让自然光进入流通空间。外立面的固体和空隙之间的这种特殊关系最终形成了良好的热性能，具有很高的节能水平。
Externally, to the east, two continuous volumes reveal a duality between the opaque block – where the garage is – and the transparent extension of the living room, kitchen and bedrooms. To the west, with thirty-five meters in length, the openings were minimized and used as fixed windows, to intensify and punctuate the integration between exterior and interior letting natural light into circulation spaces. This particular relation between solids and voids on the facade ends up into excellent thermal performance, with a high level of energy conservation.
木材和粘土砖等材料的使用给房子带来了个性，也给人一种温馨的感觉。在地板上选择浅色调，在客厅和厨房的内墙上选择抛光的石灰华，将景观的镜面效果复制到某些室内的角度。在室内木工中使用的国家松木在房间里创造了一个舒适和温暖的感觉氛围。通过玻璃墙暴露出来的景观，日复一日地创造出自然场景，使居民进入沉思和冥想。
The use of materials such as wood and clay tile brings character to the house, also giving the sensation of a welcoming place. The option for light tones on the floor and the polished travertine accents on the interior walls from the living room and kitchen, replicate the mirror effect from landscape into certain interior perspectives. The national pine used in the interior carpentry creates a cozy and warm feeling atmosphere in the rooms. The landscape that is exposed through the glass walls creates, day after day, natural scenarios that transport the inhabitants to contemplation and meditation.
