The House in Ovar by Paula Santos is a beautiful gray concrete home located in Portugal. What made this house particularly difficult to build was its construction upon unstable sandy soil.
This massive house is 680 square meters, and has a variety of different geometric shapes, elevations and sloping facades. Inside the house there is a beautiful swimming pool and a painter's studio. The interior of the home is white with wooden accents, and the large windows allow for the yellow light to flow through at night.
This stunning home is extremely unique with its geometric designs. Paula Santos is an architectural firm that specializes in residential, public buildings, office, interior design and product design.
