fala atelier uses curving wall to separate public and private in this white house in porto
portuguese fala atelier reveals its latest project ? a modern home in porto filled with elements typical for the studio. the precise white house features one little glitch meant to be made ? a curved wall which reflects the architects? aesthetics. born from the bare structure of an existing abandoned construction, the place overviews a picturesque garden through its wide floor-to-ceiling windows.

the main space of the building is carefully planted by furniture, while the curved wall displays four deep-blue doors leading to a small lobby, bedroom, bathroom, and attic. a very common element in fala?s projects ? a circular opening ? is placed right under the gently sloped roof.
the entrance to the lot is, again, marked by color ? the minimalistic blue gate is accompanied by a slim salmon-pink painted door. the somewhat sculptural structure is covered with corrugated aluminum sheets reflecting the natural hues of the blue sky.
