Portuguese Home by the Sea by Antonio Sergio Koch
ArchDaily

From today's ArchDaily comes a beautiful home in Oporto, Portugal. Designed by Antonio Sergio Koch, the building is both monolithic and airy — due to Portuguese marble clad exterior on two sides and 2 large walls of windows on the others.

 
 

The large curtain wall on the property helps protect the garden from the strong sea winds.

For additional images and architectural plans, see ArchDaily | House in Foz / Sergio Koch.

Nice modern open plan. Modern yet still warm.

The view of house from the outside is breathtaking. Their view from inside is awe-inspiring as well.
