to rest
it's a project for a place of retreat. in the middle of the
hills, among animals, and looking at marvão castle, the
project stands out among the trees like a solitary
whitewashed house.
the silhouette marked by the chimneys, typical of the
portuguese alentejo, sculpt the volume and project
shadows in an image that recalls some works by robert
ryman.
