Debate features green-tiled Portuguese house "that will age beautifully"

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features a green-tiled concrete house in Lisbon by Bak Gordon Arquitectos. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.

Designed by Bak Gordon Arquitectos, the home is wedged between two buildings and separated by a courtyard and was designed to blend in with the surrounding architecture.

Readers were captivated by the building, with one calling it "the right recipe" and predicting that it would "age beautifully". While another described it as "an exquisite creation".
