Casa tóló - an incredibly pure design
by Volker Weber
‘casa tóló’ is the creation of portuguese architect álvaro leite siza vieira, son of the 1992 pritzker prize winner álvaro siza vieira. located on a steep hill in northern portugual, siza was confronted with a difficult building site. instead of fighting the natural environment, the architect embraced it using the slope as the home’s main characteristic.

Stunning. But not recommended for people with bad knees.

Beautiful, but a house-from-hell for me.
(For those who don't know me, I have two bad knees and a bad hip. Stairs are EVIL)
