The project focuses on the rehabilitation of the main building, built approximately in 1910, before elevators and reinforced concrete were widespread. Architecture can be included in a cosmopolitan trend with Beaux-Arts influence that sought to adapt a classic 19th century language to new programs and techniques and to urban growth.

Hospital da Luz – Clínica da Carreira
The project consists of the remodeling of a building in the historic center of the city, intended for the outpatient clinic of Hospital da Luz – Funchal.
