An Absolutely Unique Publication on the Pritzker

After 12 months of intensive work and several restarts, this edition presents an exhaustive record of the two built versions of the sublime house located in Quinta do Lago, designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, one of the most internationally recognised architects, awarded numerous prizes — including the Pritzker Prize.

For the first time, more than 95% of the technical drawings of this project are published. A fundamental document for analysis and comparison between:

• The original 1989 house (hand drawings)

• The 2018 renovation and extension (CAD drawings)

This is a profoundly didactic publication, conceived so that the extraordinary work of the studio can be fully understood by the reader.

Technical Content of Excellence

• Hundreds of annotated technical drawings to scale

• Double-page spreads with drawings over half a metre in length, including construction details

• Hand drawings (1989) and CAD drawings (2018)

• Drawings at 1:1 scale — for the first time in a Pritzker project

• Graphical explanations (a hallmark of House Details) from the editor on the architect’s methodology

• Detailed photographic records with graphical analysis

• Includes selected drawings of structural and landscape projects (the latter co-authored by the architect)

About House Details

House Details produces, for you, the most complete architectural publications in the world on houses.

• Portuguese publication with the largest technical component ever

• Published architects (including Pritzker Prize winners) provide complete projects in CAD — an unprecedented achievement worldwide

• Technical team composed exclusively of architects, each with more than 25 years of experience in architectural design

• Technical drawings of unique quality, intended to reflect the design excellence of the architects we publish. Produced to scale (from 1:100 up to 1:2 and 1:1), mostly in detail

• Also includes selected specialist drawings, providing a complete understanding of the work

• More than 2,000 hours of work dedicated to each publication (in some cases significantly more)

• Other features may be read on this site under “About Us”

House Details is the publication for architecture professionals, executed with enormous dedication, technical precision and the deepest rigour.

Social Mission since its foundation.

Note: Due to its format (30 x 30 cm) — to allow the printing of large-scale drawings for greater readability of the project — and the high quality of printing, the production cost of a House Details is higher than that of a standard hardback book.

Acknowledgements: To all the architects who contributed their projects, our deepest gratitude for their trust, generosity and friendship.
