Rua Dr. Camilo Dionísio Álvares 1189 / Avenida Marginal 3548, Parede · Private residence: exterior viewing from public space only. Use pavements and crossings beside the busy road.
Commissioned by Manuel de Azevedo Gomes from Nicola Bigaglia, the house was completed in 1904. The owner required stones and pebbles in cladding and decorative details. Its castle-like appearance belongs to modern summer-house architecture, not the Middle Ages.
A contemporary cultural reading by Xiaoxiong inspired by the I Ching, not architectural intent, historical fact or divination. History and location use public sources; on-site audits are not yet complete.

HEXAGRAM 52Zhou Yi · Image · Excerpt and editorial translation
兼山，艮。
Mountains together: Gen.
Gen draws attention to knowing where to stop. Stone suggests permanence, while a private house sets limits on curiosity. Looking does not confer possession.
An enduring appearance does not remove the need for maintenance. Stone changes too.
Battlements evoke the past without replacing the documented date of 1904.
What can be seen does not define where one has a right to enter.
A contemporary cultural reading by Xiaoxiong inspired by the I Ching, not architectural intent, historical fact or divination. History and location use public sources; on-site audits are not yet complete.
