Guilherme Machado   Portugal   Designed by Guilherme Machado Vaz (1974, Porto), the compact white volume takes inspiration from the architectural tradition of Portugal's Minho region. The house's width (8.6 meters) is determined by the topography of the place.

João Mendes Ribeiro Menos é Mais   Portugal   Consisting of a group of programmatic islands arranged around an old alcohol and tobacco factory, the building adopts the materials typically used in the area.

Pitágoras Arquitectos   Portugal   The new volumes of the building rest on preexisting granite constructions, maintain their original volumetric composition, and present a ventilated facade of copper sheets placed in cross seams.

João Paulo Loureiro   Portugal   A concrete slab stretching 84 meters, built with prestressing techniques, engages in dialogue with a stone plinth and shelters two fully glazed pavilions. 

The results of this year’s FAD Awards for Architecture and Interior Design stick to the tone of previous cycles: on the one hand, concentration on the creative scene of Catalonia; on the other, attention to the Portuguese world.
