Residence “O Barracão”
PortugalContractors: CB-TF
Project description
A residence that stands out for the originality of its exterior and interior design, centered around the open space concept. The unusual main structure, resembling a shed (the word ‘barracão’ in Portuguese), gives rise to wide and continuous leisure areas, shaped by the unique form of the roof and ceiling. One of the faces of the façade, entirely made of glass, allows natural light to fill the space, reflected in the long interior walls with a smooth finish.
Placo®’s plaster solutions played a key role in creating a warm, inviting, and soothing atmosphere for the residents.
