Two vast overlapping structures combine to create the bold aesthetic of Padre Botte House, located in Nogueira da Regedoura, Portugal. The design plays with opacity and transparency – the fully glazed end walls of the structures allow light into the house, but the rest of the exterior is void of any windows, so as not to interrupt the pure geometric form.
