House in Rua da Torrinha
The intervention was aimed to keep
the preexistent use of the building –
single housing -, seeking to improve its
dwelling, salubrity, comfort and security
conditions.
On a conceptual level, the project
is based on the rehabilitation of the
existent house, developed in order to
balance the infrastructural needs of
a modern home with the delicacy of a
centenary construction.
However, when confronted with new
spatial and functional necessities,
it takes a different approach, clearly
distinguishing itself from the pre-
existence, not only in its shape and also
by its materiality.

It’s our understanding that, by exploring
this relation, we are able to find
meaning and a framework that allow
the contemporary dwelling of historical
buildings.
