The Gloma house designed by the architecture studio Bruno Dias Arquitectura is the residence of a couple in the small municipality of Ansião, the same town where the studio is located. Ansião is a district of Leiria, in the central region of Portugal.

The project is developed on a single floor, with a surface area of ​​420 m², from a composition formed by a main axis and two complementary axes that allow the program a direct contact with the outside, which for the architects generates a symbiotic relationship of building with nature.
 
Permanent contact with nature is the motto to define the implantation of the house designed by Bruno Dias Arquitectura. The composition is determined by a main axis, from which the different common and private areas are articulated.

The construction is designed with two concrete slabs, two planes that allow the spaces not to be rigidly compartmentalized. Open spaces that generate a feeling of freedom and diversity in the interior spaces without any imposed structural limit, using white as a unifying element.
 

Description of project by Bruno Dias Arquitectura

The project arises in a small land with a slightly slope, in the vicinity of Ansião Village.

The departure point of the building is the permanent contact with nature. The construction is organized through a main axle which not only intend to solve all the workable programme, but also operate as a border element of the social and the private areas. This onestory house is elevated from the floor maintaining some connection points which intend to achieve a symbiotic relationship.

The applied solution creates small patios through her shape, providing the simplicity of materials and shapes encountered on the nature that surrounds it.

Two concrete slabs with organic shapes, define the exterior outline, creating a piece with a sense of freedom and consequently, diversity in the creation of the interior areas, as well as permeability with the exterior. The areas are thus not limited by walls, but span out, with nature serving as the only boundary.

Bruno Dias Arquitectura is a studio created in Ansião in 2012, by Bruno Lucas Dias.

A structure that works with the collaboration of different professionals, including engineers, landscape architects and designers.

Their interventions at the level of smaller-scale projects, such as housing, services and equipment, acquire their identity where each intervention is based on a specific and appropriate proposal for each situation.

In architecture, more than responding to a specific program or request, it is important for us from a formal point of view, the dynamic of uses and the interaction with the place.
