The Casa da Senhora
Property Description
Project developed between 2001-2013, signed by Arq. Eduardo Souto Moura (Pritzker Prize, 2011). House with garage for 2 cars, located in Senhora da Hora, Matosinhos.
Building:
“When I designed this place, I was reading The Praise of Shadows. Perhaps there is something of Tanizaki in this house.” Eduardo Souto Moura
The Casa da Senhora da Hora is built on a single floor, enclosed by walls within a rectangular plot occupying the entire lot, with access through the pedestrian entrance or the garage. Precise spaces — entrance, “winter garden,” and the strength of the patios — serve as a filter between interior and exterior.
The floor plan is organized in an inverted “E” shape, alternating three built bands and two patios. Through a play of voids and solids, visual connections are established between the different interior spaces that open onto the exterior landscaped patios.
This house can be understood as “a device to capture the landscape, a nearby landscape framed by its limits and, sometimes, a distant landscape.” It is architecture connected to nature, in this case, the natural landscape surrounding the building.
However, the main theme of Casa da Senhora da Hora is LIGHT — the gradation of light, penumbra, and shadow. Instead of losing itself in the landscape between light and darkness, the interior space fosters freedom of imagination and a richness of sensations to experience.
