House Details Magazine 6 – Álvaro Siza + António Madureira (House in Maia)

It covers in a complete way, from beginning to end, an absolutely fantastic project, carried out by the World Master, Álvaro Siza and by the excellent professional, architect António Madureira, Siza’s main collaborator from 1965 to 1971.

Like all House Details, this one was elaborated with the complete project in CAD, fact that we thank publicly, frequently and in the strongest possible way, to the generous architects Álvaro Siza and António Madureira. Once again, we would like to publicly express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the extreme generosity and enormous confidence placed in our team of architects.
