oh!porto
The existing building which was buffeted by abandonment and full of add-ons, would had to be adapted to a new program: short-stay studios.
On four floors, it was necessary to organize five independent flexible use studios and top floor two-bedroom apartment. On the ground floor, a reception with a common kitchen, back office and storage.
A longitudinal concrete axis serves as backbone to support the existent structure and to adress all the technical necessities.
A place where the iron, the rust, the granite and concrete merge with the views.

palapala
The house as a sum of attachments but no living area. Among these volumetric shapes and add-ons, a patio.
To confine a room; adjusting and merging materials, sights and sounds.
Placing a concrete slab that supports the existing roof and doesn’t obstruct the upper level corridors views.
The traditional pavement and tiled roof was preserved as the whole construction process was done without demolishing the pre-existent. A large skylight emerges in traditional slate shingles - evoking the existent vernacular kitchen’s exterior skin -, provides light and ventilation to the new living room.
One frames the courtyard.
The other frames the sky.

A garden and a restaurant.
A lake and a playground punctuated by a paraphernalia of trees and flowers.
Most of our generation spent timeless evenings playing at the old playground and fed the ducks with little pieces of bread, while parents would drink their cold draft beers, chating about the arbitrary. That existent structure leant towards the playground, denying the lake.
A new rhythmic board made of concrete lifts and suspends a realm of vegetation, landing on glass and steel volumes.
Underneath it, there’s a public space that feels like private.
A public hideout surrounded by a high tree and a lake

A steep hill, where heavy rocks rest, unfolds towards the river.
A trail leaves the asphalt road, leading into the woods.
A concrete volume carved with thin and thick patterns blocks the river by the imposition its opaque horizontality.
As we slowly approach it, a stretched entrance introduces us to a long corridor that meticulously frames the exterior rocks.
Each zone focus on a different side of the brutal topography: the laying rocks, the river, the hill, the quarry.

Lagarteiro is a twenty year old restaurant. Guided by consistency, year after year withstands the changes that come with the passage of time on a mainstream commercial surface. Located at the bottom of the service gallery, its entrance is demarcated by the double height that soon descends to tighten and receive one’s arrival, resulting in a lower space which confronts the counter. Its long and slender shape articulates passage, attendance and permanence.
A material as floor, wall and bench, takes off a black ceiling of black infrastructures, in which stands the longitudinal lighting rail - pinkie - that accentuates the rectangular area of the dining space.
A central pillar supports the ceiling and strikes the floor’s horizontality.

From an elevated point of view, the sky and the landscape reflect on a water mirror - a porous concrete palette that fills with the winter rain and dries in the arid summer.
The mortuary house is carved in stone, hiding in a shell, standing by. As the water is falling and flowing, it soaks the pores and imperfections of this material falling through the circular hole over the rugged topography. This horizontal abstraction finds a delicate balance with a vertical element, deploying on the ground and apparently floating as tensions with the slope.
Water, and its changing states, is a transversal religious element, often related to purification and transformation a covering of the building in a reflection of the sky, infinity, the expectation of ascension.
Facing the four quadrants - north, south, east and west - the square has an absent orientation thus free and unwilling, embracing all creeds in a space for reflection and communion.
Carved in stone, hiding in a shell, standing by.

A cross separates two siamese twins - one taller than the other. Two side-to-side galvanized gates withhold the interior realm.
A panoramic window frames the cooking, eating and social area of both houses. The sleeping area overlooks the street from the top of the castle.

Our studio-atelier-office-living-room.
This garage transformation was taken with an intense cost-controling pace. As the main focus was to generate some confort and insulate both acoustic and thermically. Therefore, a platform was created, to rise above the existent concrete floor, creating a first layer of insulation and a continuous texture that wraps the central collumn.
The walls were covered with a thick layer of painted white cork.
A radial table crashes against a square mirror, duplicating the workspace and avoiding the cul-de-sac feeling.
