Moinhos da Corga in Montalegre

Along a hillside, four water mills were the only pre-existing structures. So as not to interfere with these constructions, it was decided to design a path at a higher elevation, taking advantage of an old animal path. The connection between the northern and southern extremes allowed the four new wooden buildings, whose typology interpreted the local architecture, to be placed.

Designed by the architects Nuno Flores and Sofia Neves, Moinhos da Corga occupy a higher elevation in relation to the pre-existing watermills so as not to interfere with the harmony of the landscape.

This project has received several commendations as well as references in magazines and tourism, design and architecture sites.
