JC House by JPS Atelier
The JC House is located near the peak of Oeireas, Portugal with access to a beautiful overwatch of the river Tejo and the Atlantic Ocean further down. Its design belongs to JPS Atelier, a studio whose previous work on the ML House in the same area has already made its way on one of our showcases. This beautiful contemporary home certainly deserves some attention and you won’t regret seeing it. It’s got everything you might expect from such a home on such a location.
Located in one of the highest points in Oeiras, Portugal, with a view over the Tejo river and the Atlantic ocean, this house is based on a trapezoidal terrain which formed the concept for the creation of this project.
The terrain characteristics and customer requirements originated two main staggered volumes but perfectly aligned with batch limits bring a certain dynamic to the house at the same time protects it from the north and northwest winds.
Studied to take advantage of the climate and geographical location is south facing completely with large glazed areas and balconies overlooking the wonderful views.
