The VOYEUR HOUSE is located on one of the most charming hills in the city of Coimbra. Totally oriented to the South, with a privileged view of a true postcard view of the city of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
Extravagant and egocentric in its desire to float over the landscape, this house could never happen within the city center. The house was purposely designed as a place for observation.
Approached from the bottom, the view gradually appears from small openings and finally reaches a large open terrace. The living spaces extend outwards through large windows that open onto the terrace, transforming the house into a modern and panoramic space - both indoors and outdoors. On the suspended terrace there is a jacuzzi built into the floor that is controlled by home automation.
The entire southern facade has glass throughout, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere in all spaces.
The warmth of the walnut wood carpentry in combination with the Mortex and Microcement finish skillfully hides the technological level of the house - with home automation, and the hydraulic underfloor heating that is supported by a heat pump that performs heating and cooling.
On the roof there is an electrical energy production structure with 32 photovoltaic panels, with the possibility of accumulating energy in a 10kW battery, making it completely sustainable.
The movable wooden shutters not only evoke the memory of the neighboring monastery, but also guarantee privacy to the interior spaces and provide solar protection in an elegant and subtle way. Open and closed, the house constantly adapts to the needs of its occupants - an inert structure transforms into an organic dwelling.
