The ocean is the most striking feature of the landscape surrounding the Sao Felix Apartment. The breathtaking views are accentuated by a rather sober intervention in terms of material expression.
The purpose of this project is a single family house. The program is developed in two levels – social spaces on the lower floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor.
This project situated in the old historical town of Foz do Douro, in the City of Porto, seeks to rejuvenate one of the typical old houses in the area and to adapt it to current needs.
The house appears on Santo Tirso’s outskirts, in a clear transition to the more rural surroundings of the city, although flanked by the busy National Route 105, which connects Porto to Guimarães.
We were proposed to develop a Project for Integrated Health Offices, for construction in an existing space, with sun exposure to the South and East, conditioning the rooms size, according to the position of the existing windows.
The idea was born from the client’s most basic requests; a reformulation of the apartment that would allow for a more fluid circulation, a more practical and visually clean environment without the need for furniture and decoration.
Calçada House is located in Vila de Paraíso in the north of Portugal. There were existing house from 18th century and several annex buildings with several trees in old manor with 5000m2.
Located in REFER’s former railway warehouse, in the city of Peso da Régua, which once opened its doors to the Alto Douro Wine Region, the Aneto restaurant takes Wine as a connecting element for the proposed intervention.
