Situated alongside the serene River Douro, the House in Armamar, designed by Paula Santos Architecture, beautifully exemplifies the harmonious integration of concrete with its natural surroundings.

The design takes full advantage of its stunning location, with the OTIIMA Motorized Guillotine System connecting the interior spaces to the outside world. This innovative system features descending glazed panels that offer unobstructed panoramic views of the river and rolling hills beyond.

By blending modern architectural elements with the landscape, the house provides its inhabitants with a continuous and immersive connection to the natural beauty of the environment, making the outdoors feel like an extension of the living space. The thoughtful use of concrete, combined with the dynamic glazing, creates a perfect balance between contemporary design and the natural world, allowing the house to sit gracefully within its breathtaking setting.
