This is an excellent example of a clear, effective four-panel competition submission. The layout is simple, in many ways reflective of the project’s design. The boards are organized using a primary full-span image and the mostly-white boards are anchored by the strong red facade components which appear throughout the renderings and sections. The presentation would benefit from two additional items. The first is basic annotation and labeling to describe the intent and spaces of each of the renderings on the final board. The second is an enlarged detail to describe the construction of either the facade or the planted roof, to solidify this project as a serious architectural proposition.

Jury feedback summary
Casa das Oliveiras is a subtle proposal designed to integrate with its context. It features a single-story entrance at street level, aligned with the scale of the existing neighborhood, behind which a tiered development is embedded within the hillside and topped with olive trees. The project is planned about a central open courtyard surrounded by residential units and, at its ground floor, directly connected to common amenity spaces. An autumnal red textured envelope gives the project a clear identity while also allowing it to appear in continuity with its natural setting.
