Thomas McBrien, architects: ARCHITECTURE MODEL (embedded in landscape), Cape St. Vincent / Portugal
https://thomas-mcbrien.com/Cape-St-Vincent
“Located at the end of the Cape St. Vincent peninsula the building is embedded into the existing landscape. The structure is formed of two levels, each offering different views and experiences. The top deck provides a respite following the long walk from the town. From here, one has unobstructed, high-level views of the historic coast line. It is also a perfect place for big-wave viewing. On the lower level, an enclosed garden with surrounding arcade offers a sheltered environment for contemplation and reflection. The journey concludes with a double height main space that offers grand panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean.”
