"The film follows the construction of the house. Step by step in slow rhythm the unique elements of the house are unveiled, such as forms, details, and its relationship with the landscape," writes Paola Ricco presenting "The Construction of Villa Além", now exclusively available on our VOD channel.

Challenged by Valerio Olgiati, in this film Ana Resende, Miguel C. Tavares, Rui Manuel Vieira, and Tiago Costa document the building process for a retreat house for the Swiss architect and his wife, against the unique landscape of the Portuguese region of Alenteyo.
