A House is an Environmental Filter
The Casa Tolo is positioned in the Portuguese mountainous terrains. It is set back into the mountain as if it were to be cascading down the steep slope. the architect has take full aesthetic advantage by positioning the house into the slope, providing a flowing value to the space. It has been angled in such a way to take complete advantage of the valley views, not obstucting from the natural surroundings. The house faces south, receiving optimal solar exposure and views of the surrounding terrain. Casa Tolo is naturally unified with the landscape responding to its natural setting.
