Senhora da Hora House - Utopia - Architecture and Engineering

Private Housing in Senhora da Hora - Utopia Architecture and Engineering. Architecture and interiors photo report carried out for Utopia - Arquitetura e Engenharia, on a housing project located in Senhora da Hora, Porto. This private house, designed for a family, stands out from the surrounding urban fabric due to its recessed volume and contemporary architectural language. The project breaks with the continuous alignment of the street, creating recesses, planes and shadows that accentuate its identity. During the photo shoot, we sought an authorial and sensitive approach, including the presence of the residents themselves in the space as living and narrative elements. This option reinforced the idea of appropriation and experience of the house, conveying more than a physical structure: a house that is inhabited and felt. Natural light was exploited at different times of the day, highlighting the materiality, the rhythm of the plans and the relationship between interior and exterior. The result is a visual record that documents the technical project, but also its inhabited soul.
