"I start a project when I visit a place." - This phrase by Siza represents our design philosophy, and in particular, what happened with Casa B . V. In this case, the process also included choosing the property (purchased to be our future home). From the very beginning, during the visits, the trapezoidal floor plan offering unusual perspectives, the L-shaped terrace, the compact size, and the great potential to redesign the layout gave us the feeling that this was our home, or better, our challenge.
