The Dovecote-Granary, Ponte de Lima, Portugal |\u00a0Tiago do Vale Architects\/Concepts \u2013 Plus-Architecture + Preservation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Portuguese<\/a><\/p>\n

Originally built in the late XIX century, its starting point was two traditional northern Portugal maize granaries standing over granite bases. A common roof united them under which there was a dovecote. Finally, the space between the two granaries was used to dry cereals, with two huge basculating panels controlling the ventilation. It is a truly peaceful retreat among the treetops.<\/p>\n

Vieira de Almeida & Associados New Headquarters, Lisbon, Portugal |OPENBOOK Architecture + PMC Arquitectos\/\u00a0Concepts \u2013 Plus-Architecture +Workspace<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Portuguese<\/a><\/p>\n

The construction of this building came from the desire to have a chapel at the National Scout\u00b4s Activities Camp (CNAE), in the municipality of Idanha a Nova, central region of Portugal, for the XXIII National Jamboree of Portuguese Catholic Scouts, which involved about 22,000 participants, and to join the other definitive buildings that this scouting center has.\u00a0The chosen location is privileged, in a plateau area, central in the CNAE, surrounded by a rural environment, with an extraordinary panoramic view, that also impelled the design of the building.<\/p>\n

Casa Carrara, Praia da Luz, Lagos, Algarve |\u00a0M\u00e1rio Martins Atelier\/\u00a0Residential-Private House (L 3000-5000 sq ft)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Portuguese<\/a><\/p>\n

Carrara House has, in a less obvious way, a certain sculptural character that is present in both houses designed by us in the neighborhood, Colunata and Elliptic Houses, where the curved and dynamic forms are treated like a volume sculpted from a rough block that has been brought to life. In Carrara House, more angular and longer forms are sculpted in a parallelepiped where, without losing their origin, full and empty spaces coexist as living areas. To be noted is the terrace, more than thirty metres long, which functions as an embellishment or a pinnacle \u2013 but one that is paradoxically horizontal \u2013 the finishing element in an architectural ensemble.<\/p>\n

Horse Riding Centre in Pedras Salgadas |\u00a0RA\\\\ Rebelo de Andrade\/\u00a0Details \u2013 Plus-Architecture +Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Portuguese<\/a><\/p>\n

This fifth project hasn\u2019t been awarded but it has been in finalists list, so it also deserves to be highlighted.\u00a0This building came from the desire to have a chapel at the National Scout\u2019s Activities Camp (CNAE), in Idanha-a-Nova, the central region of Portugal, for the XXIII National Jamboree of Portuguese Catholic Scouts, which involved about 22,000 participants.\u00a0The chosen location is privileged, in a plateau area, central in the CNAE, surrounded by a rural environment, with an extraordinary panoramic view, that also impelled the design of the building. The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima and is inspired by the scouting experience: outdoor life, camping, the tent. The pointy edges of the building allude to the scout\u2019s scarf, the symbol of vow and commitment of this movement.<\/p>\n
