Tolo House, the inspiration of architect Alvaro Leite Siza , is hard on the knees but easy on the eyes. The unusual structure is buried in the ground like a crypt on a sloping hillside in Portugal . But though it may look sepulchral, it’s designed very much for the living, with three bedrooms, one bath, a full kitchen , dining room , and yes, a living room . The descent into Tolo House… Outdoor amenities include a pool and panoramic views. This is one of those “organic” creations that functions through working with the landscape instead of manipulating the terrain to suit the desired build.
