Calçada House is located in Vila de Paraíso in the north of Portugal. There were existing house from 18th century and several annex buildings with several trees in old manor with 5000m2. The site was divided by the buildings scattered throughout the project site, and each part was designed as unique place. We refurbished them to serve as a residence and a guest house.

入口大门经过了重建，将人们引入葡萄藤架下的门廊，随后进入主厅和卧室所在的扩建部分。从主厅可以望见通向客人住房和楼梯间的路径。主体建筑的首层同时包含了公共空间和私人空间，例如起居室和办公室，以及卧室和浴室等。

The entrance approach path under grapevine trellis appears after passing the rebuilt entrance gate. This approach path leads visitors to the extended part with an entrance hall and a bedroom.
