Solar Alcobaça Meigal
We sought to reconcile several factors that we consider determining and structuring. On the one hand, the sensitivity of this specific territory due to its location and characteristics, close to the Alcobaça Monastery. On the other hand, the insertion in an urban context of some complexity and heterogeneity, cohabiting the existence of elements of significant historical importance with the presence of buildings of reduced volume and others of much larger scale and volume. The approach we present corresponds to a building with some organicity, with geometry cut out as a process of volumetric subtraction, allowing insertion into the existing natural and wooded environment in an integrated and preserving way.
