Pedro Matos · family grave house in Póvoa de Varzim, Porto

Pedro Matos

Along the main cemetery axis with neo- gothic and neo- Classic grave houses, the client asked to implant his own family grave house in one of the available street corners. The idea to fill it was to design a white marble monolith with blocks of this material. Sometimes these blocks don't touch each other and allow the light to come in a very controlled and soft way. The only different facade is the entrance one which is made out black glass that reflects the old buildings and gives privacy to the interior space.
