Inujima Guest House 2019

In order to fully expolre landscape of the island, the idea came up that guest houses spread around the south of the island. Meanwhile, the visitors came to inujima are always stay within aone day. If they can stay one more night, it is better both. In that case, we design three guest houses wi th specific topics and two service spaces-dining room and sento-which can be used by the locals too. 

The topics of the guest houses generate from the island itself, whether from the heritage or the special views, which are villa woods, villa ocean and villa pond. And to minimize the impact of our houses to the nature, we keep our the houses at a very small scale - just one bed and one toliet. 

The scale of the island allows the visitors to wake up at guest houses and eat breakfast at the dining room, which is just a few meters. And before night comes, the visitors can bath at the sento, and then go along the coast to the rooms by the sunset, and enjoy different nights at those guest houses.

Baralha Fortress Monastery

The Memory of Monk 2020

Walking on the pedestrian path in Cape Espichel, I reach the top of São Domingos da Baralha fortress. A modest architecture coexists with the ruins. To the left of the dilapidated arch, there is a concrete ramp leading to the first look-out point. While the thick wall is getting higher, I feel sunken into the ground. A bench is right designed to sit down for the gaze at the first light from the sea.

Before going down to the monastery area, there is a small sign in the space, where the rocks come through the concrete, to separate the people who just visit. I feel serene when I go down to the dining area. A wood frame of the sliding door just captures the view of the powerful natural scenery to emphasize the landscape of the Atlantic coastline. If you go closer, you can feel the ruins up out there.

The space of the kitchen, storage cabinets and cells of the dormitory are for four people. There are also shared bathrooms on the opposite of the aisle. To the end, there is a meeting area with a similar view from the look-out point face the cliff.

Back upstairs, a narrow long ramp tunnel is built under the ground leading to the inner space surrounded by concrete walls to feel the intimacy of the space. The only opening is where the skylight comes through and changes as the time pass away.  

After the inner space and out of the towering cliffs, you can find another exit to the lower part of the fortress ruin, here is another sight of the expansive ocean views. Baralha Fortress Monastery incorporates with the remains, create a new experiencing route to the second look-out point, where Chã dos Navegantes could be seen.
