This is where the KPTN has been created. From the outside you can hardly detect its functional diversity – but behind the facades there is a sophisticated mix of urban housing, a hotel, a top class cinema, a public underground car park, restaurants and shops.

Casa Boa Esperanca is a historic landmark building perched on the edge of a small promontory in the fishing village of Ferragudo, Algarve, Southern Portugal. Due to local planning policies, several restrictions were placed on the building. This led to the need for a careful and sensitive approach to the restoration. The concept consisted primarily of the installation of new timber structures within the existing walls. This solution enabled open spaces to be created within the existing footprint and views of the sea to be greatly enhanced. The new structural elements of the renovation were left exposed and a large studio space was created within the former roof void. The building is flooded with light due to the insertion of several ro... Más

The site is very small, at 66㎡ it is like a garden. This area is a dense residential area with some row houses. The budget is limited as usual… Thinking about a house within these conditions… Caption Where to open and where to close…  I thought it was important to consider how to take in the sunlight for this house, and to consider Ma ( space in between ) to create a feeling of generousness in this site.
