Casa na Rua Sara Beirão is a minimal residence located in Oeiras, Portugal, designed by SIA arquitectura. Their initial step was marked by a decisive incision, establishing a foundation in this unexplored setting, and allowing for the natural surroundings – the street and the river-sea – to be incorporated into the design. The house itself is a study in redefining spatial hierarchy.

This stunning structure is the Florida Polytechnic University designed by “starchitect” Santiago Calatrava, and had been on my “to see” list for a while now. Here are my photos from my visit.
Jaw-dropping, futuristic, minimal, organic, uplifting, and oddly comforting, its soaring frond-like arches feel like an airy spatial embrace. Perhaps a small influence from M.C. Escher’s “Architecture?” Calatrava is known for this beautiful modern architecture style, simplistic in lines yet complex in construction.
Inside, polished concrete floors and white curvilinear walls are both practical and beautiful, and the encircling “moat” surrounding the building is stocked with aquatic life, landscapes with palm trees, and lush lawns.
The lounge up the stairs from the main entrance’s furniture gives LeCorbusier LC2 feels, surely an intentional nod.
It’s a rare talent that can envision concrete and steel elevated into such an incredible lightness of being. No wonder Santiago Calatrava’s designs set my heart a-flutter.

The Sunday residence, crafted by Melbourne’s Architecture architecture, stands as a testament to ingenious design on a compact 175m2 site. The project’s core innovation lies in its division into three distinctive bands running from north to south: communal, outdoor, and private. To further enhance these zones, an east-west division creates two subzones within each realm, offering generous and intimate spaces.
