STONE HOUSE
Guimarães, Portugal.
Architect:
The
house of stone, which is eco-friendly, was built into its natural surroundings,
in 1974. It is also called Casa de Pedra. It reminds me of the cartoon
Flintstones because the structure was built out of the natural rock found on
the site, including the swimming pool. It defies what we know today as
conventional architecture. The house retains its natural rocky façade. The house blends right into nature.
“This
building is one for the ages… the stone ages, that is.” – Sarah Felix Burns.
