The Domus Impluvium was inspired by the classic Greek and Roman model of house. It was designed by Bernardo Rodrigues in 2004 - 2006 and it is located in Capelas, Portugal. The project is composed by two courtyards that are designated for entrance and to be the central area. They collect rain water and allow the light and ventilation through the ground floor, living room and kitchen. Located in a triangular site, the Domus Impluvium has 2 levels. Local lava stone was used on the exterior. Two volumes of cryptomeria wood are located around the courtyard and envelops the rooms. Those volumes serve as a frame to view the ocean, the seven cities volcanos and also mountains.
