CR APARTMENT | Lisbon | 2020
When intervening in a space such as this apartment, one should not interfere with the existing architecture. More than to propose, it was necessary to omit, to refurbish and integrate. It was essential to intervene in this apartment in the most clean and silent manner to better respond to its new needs.
The building where this apartment is placed was originally designed as an Hotel Particulier. The apartment occupies the entire 1st floor, which was originally dedicated to the social areas – namely 11 parlours, one of which was used as a bathroom. As the social floor, almost all of the walls and ceilings of these rooms were decorated with rich mural paintings.
When the first floor was transformed into an individ... More

ESQVTA luxury housing | Porto | 2018
In the city of Porto, it was recognized that there would be a business opportunity in urban rehabilitation. This opportunity aims to open luxury housing units for short rentals, which are always located in historic buildings of architectural and design value and in privileged locations.

212.2 HAIR DOCTORS | Lisbon | 2018
One project, two sides, two programs, two languages, two spaces in one.
To the west is the area intended for the owner’s housing with a simple program. The house is defined by the light and the framing of the trees of the most imponent avenue in Porto. To the east is the workspace with a complex program, facing inland.
The apartment is placed in an Art Nouveau building that was awarded the Valmor Prize in 1915. At the request of the owner, the entire interior should not be touched so as not to destroy or alter the classified heritage.
On the wing destined for the clinic, on the largest room was installed a mirror-lined cube with the aim of becoming almost invisible within the space. On the “broken” sides, glass re... More
RC OFFICE | Porto | 2019
The area of intervention is made up of two adjacent units in a monotonous office Building in Porto. The area is defined by a 10,5 by 8,5 meters rectangle with all windows oriented west and the entrance on the opposite side.
The program consisted of one reception area with access to a kitchenet and bathroom and to two offices connected to a meetings and exhibition area.
Absolute freedom regarding aesthetics, in an office that will host activities connected to sports, allowed for the experimentation of various finishes and lighting options.
A virtual mesh of 0,50 x0,50 meters was created to anchor the project, in which all spaces were designed in a structured and yet fluid way. All boundary walls are lined with cabinets that re... More
