The Seven Books House designed for single-family dwelling, intended for local housing, results from a reconstruction of an existing ruin. Respecting the pre-existing structures and the altimetry system, the house is designed according to a half-floor typology. Since it was necessary to increase its height, a decision was taken to set the extension apart from the pre-existing structure through a structurally different solution, which adopted a clearly different language, emphasized by the interplay of materials. The exterior openings respect this distinction; the existing floor has a scattering of windows, while the volume that comprises the top floor has continuous panes. From the volumetric point of view, there was evident care to reduce its exterior volume with a view to aligning the house with adjacent buildings.

The Seven Books House results from a tribute to the sculpture of the same name by Alberto Carneiro, one of the greatest sculptors of the contemporary national and international art scene, which is located in the existing public garden next to the house. The sculpture "The Seven Books of Life" seeks to celebrate the close connection between art and life. Somehow the house seeks to give expression to this unit. 

The house features separate areas designed exclusively for your welfare. With three bedrooms available to the visitor, a fully equipped kitchen, lounge with dining area and living space for watch TV, read a good book and have good conversation with friends. Another room that aims to wine that this region produces the best, where you can taste and enjoy the finest nectar's of the Douro, the red or white wines and the famous Port wine.
