10 examples of modern architecture homes
Montaria Shelter
Location: Portugal
Architects: Carvalho Araujo Architects
Nestled on the edge of a village, overlooking the Serra D'Arga Mountains in Portugal's north-west region is the Montaria Shelter by Carvalho Araujo architects.
This modern architecture home is actually residing where an existing ruin once was. The structure carries the concept of shelter throughout itself, with various accents and features including a pool that rises from a concrete volume set in the ground.
The home had to adapt to the rolling terrain. The architects took advantage of this and the living room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are sitting under the pool area to account for the steep incline.
A courtyard set in the interior provides light and air flow through the rooms.
