This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This house, built on a cliff over the Obidos Lagoon in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, was designed in separate volumes to take full advantage of the panoramic views and sunlight.
The property is part submerged into the sloping site, to minimise the intrusion of the building on the surrounding landscape.
