Soeiro Mendes House was named after the street where it is located in Aldoar. It underwent modifications to improve natural light ingress and accessibility In order to comply with licensing regulations and preserve the integrity of the previously approved layout and construction area.
Story behind the design.
The project aimed to rectify a number of the house’s design and construction issues, and required changes that were judged necessary in the course of implementation. The present single-family home occupies a large lot measuring 352 m2, with two stories above the threshold level. The building area of 252 m2 is made up of 194 m2 for the main house and 58.12 m2 for annexes. Although these modifications are mainly interior, they also include outdoor arrangements to comply with accessibility regulations.
