PAÇO REAL DE CHÃ DO SOUTO
north stones
In the north of the country emerges small royal palace from the reign of D. Fernando I , lost in the stone landscape.
To rehabilitate the remais of its construction, the premisses where based in its total reposition as the original, in a reign without a crown of recognition.
In a timeless way of building, the stones open the garden green spaces, and the pool sits back in the stone wall that holds the superior platform - it is still water.
The colors speak as nature, between the musk in natural elements - emerges a light soft green that is applied in a sort of secure by nurture sense.
This is the kind of space that has a quality without a name.
Has a self maintaining fire, and when a building maintains its fire, it becomes part of nature.
