All existing windows were renewed, the poorly insulated pre-fabricated concrete elements were largely preserved and insulated. Subsequently, the entire building w... More

In 1998, the Coimbra Regional Headquarters of the Pharmacists’ Association bought two semi-detached houses. In 2010 the Pharmacists’ Association decided to occupy both buildings, to which end it had to requalify number 12B, lying vacant and presenting signs of decay.The rehabilitation project focused on adapting the building to the new functional programme, establishing interior communications with the adjacent building. The principle that characterized the intervention was based on the interior remodeling of the building by adding value or replacing its original configuration and materials. Here and there, where the implementation of the new programme did not adapt to the existing structure, certain spatial alterations were made to adjust... More
