When Isabella and Diogo first visited what is now their light and open home, it had been years on the market and was a dark maze of rooms. They saw potential in its modernist history so they asked architects Pablo and Alberto Twose to uncover this more playful past.
The Twoses discovered the home’s hidden geometry – a triangular mesh that formed hexagons and octagon – and began to play with the shapes like a tangram puzzle. Using the shapes as a guide, they took down walls and doors creating open spaces that flow together. By playing with the tangram, the architects erased the labyrinth of dark rooms and replaced it with a light-filled space without doors that resembles “a forest with clearings that invite us to stop, play, rest”.
