Where Architects Live, Manuel Aires Mateus

We designed the house in a very open way so we wanted to design spaces that are able to support any kind of life or any kind of use and we like that idea of course now we use maybe the house in slightly different way that we used to but uh what I like is that the spaces are able to accommodate all these different changes.

You can find in the house Roman stones from Gothic stones or stones from very classical times and they let you do do whatever you want and it was this Freedom that we were interested in.

I like the way we continue to change inside andI think this is very positive for a house that we use you know because probably I'm going to die here.
