The House in Corujeira is serenely integrated into the locality of Carvalhal de Vermilhas, belonging to the municipality of Vouzela, in the district of Viseu. This geographical setting places the house in a deeply rural region, where the green of the fields and forest density dominate the landscape.
Those who travel to this point are invited to experience the tranquility of the Beiras region, with horizons marked by gentle elevations and valleys that shape the territory. Its position in the "Corujeira hamlet", within the Chã area, offers an authentic perspective on community life and the surrounding natural landscape, far from urban hustle and bustle.
This dwelling, as an example of civil construction in the region, presents characteristics that reflect the architectural practices and the use of traditional materials from Vouzela. It is expected that its construction is based on granite, a stone abundant in the Viseu area, giving the structure remarkable robustness and a durability that defies time. The house's lines, although they may be of a stripped-down functionality, mirror the adaptation to the needs of rural life, being a testament to the local constructive heritage.
The simplicity of the forms and the honesty of the materials used contribute to the harmonious integration of the house into the surrounding landscape. Architectural elements, such as door and window frames or the arrangement of volumes, can offer clues about the patterns of life and the constructive traditions that have shaped this community over generations.
The existence of the House in Corujeira is an element that underscores the authentic character and rural essence of Carvalhal de Vermilhas. It is not a grand monument, but rather a building that possesses intrinsic value for its representation of a particular way of life and housing typology of Beira Alta.
By observing this house, visitors can grasp how communities established and thrived in this Chã environment, in symbiosis with the land and natural resources. Its presence is a reminder of the resilience and identity of a place that maintains its connection to agricultural roots and the peacefulness of inland Portugal.
