Unhão is a single family house developed in the rural context of Felgueiras, in the north of Portugal. The terrain is morphologically characterized by a steep slope facing southwest, thus allowing to design a layout that reinforces the intimacy of the place. This solution was also conditioned by low financial availability, however it was not an obstacle for its future inhabitants to enjoy and take advantage of the environmental and visual potential of the land. Conceptually, this three bedroom house is based on a simple formal design, a volume designed to maintain an open but welcoming environment, both inside and outside and whose volume will be topped by a gable roof, formalizing a continuous element. The functional program is developed on a single floor, in which the rooms and the respective support spaces are oriented to the north and the social spaces in the south, namely the kitchen and the living room. The main element in the house is a wall composed by OSB panels with 27mm that undertakes a storage position. The stereotomy design of this wooden plan aims to “camouflage” the access to private divisions.

Fontainhas house is dated from the beginning of the XX century and without an outstanding heritage value, but of great importance to the city from the viewpoint of historical memory, it was in an advanced state of degradation which required a deep intervention. The clients brief was to organize this two storey building into two fractions, duly autonomous. Programmatically the ground floor integrates the first fraction where the layout is an open space that organizes the common spaces of the dining room and kitchenette as well as the bathroom and the bedroom.The main concern in this level was the absence of light and ventilation which in response to this problem, were created new openings in the north east wall and part of the patio was leveled with the groundfloor. The first floor corresponds to the second fraction where it accommodates two bedrooms, a toilet and the access to the patio throught an elevated steel platform. The second floor is an extension where an indentation was developed, allowing the owner to enjoy a balcony facing the Douro River and taking advantage of the landscape’s potential. The conversion is mostly worked with wood, in order to create a homogeneous language throughout the interior.

This module is based on simplification of the definitions of housing. It was Intended not only to verify simplification of construction methods but primarily on the way of living.The basic palette of materials includes chipboard, wooden beams, plywood, raw metal and rubber. The experimental character of the module was the conceptual starting point. The facade is envolved by fine transparent panels of acrylic mounted on a wooden frame allowing the viewer to sense the mass of the house. Entire structure of the building is composed of manufactured assortment of system panels (SIP), in the peripheral walls, roof and floors.

This old kitchen dated from 1895 has remaid abandoned and ignored since 1970 by the modern life without any prevision for its rehabilitation. As a result the proposal aims to reactivate and insert this building back to the city by giving a new use to its functional programme. The conversion aims to perserve the heavy and industrial environment of the kitchen. The old floor was replaced by a layer of polished cement while the interior walls and windows were left untouched as well the electrical devices and the air conditioning system. The twenty feet hight pyramid roof integrates a complex system of wooden beams and adjustable struts that converge in the center in a remarkable and beautiful octagonal closure, supporting the centrifugal force of the roof on the structural walls. It was decided then to highlight the ceiling by creating a second level through a structure made of pine wood. This same structure organizes the space in the floor plan through translucid panels. In order to add functinality to the public spaces, namely the bathrooms, the project renovation involved the withdraw of some internal walls previously used to organize the kitchen spaces

The 1900 Hospice Miguel Bombarda closed its doors after eighty years of existence and since then has entered in a slow process of degradation. This U shape building is composed of reinforced concrete slabs and frameworks which was an innovative constructive solution at that time. The framework of the project is a renovative strategic operation looking to strenght its heritage assets and to activate it into the arts industry. Based on photographic support the global consevation status is positive in exception for the last floor which represents some degree of deterioration. Althoug there aren’t any sings of damage in the structural elements, the walls and floors display signs of material degradation as well as the coverage shows lack of tiles allowing infiltration inside the building. The project is structured according to the narrative between time and matter. Inside the existing constructive solutions, wounds on the walls are respected, and in this sense, the intervention preserves it’s memory avoiding masking, scraping, polishing. The involvement on the existing structure is minimal, profiting most of elements, reinforcing them with simple and economical solutions.The materials used are from the industrial universe, without processing and standardized features, the elements establish an open communication with the pre-existence.
The interior walls remained untouched perserving the marks from the past while the new features including lighting and acclimatization system weren’t hidden in order to create an industrial atmosphere. This intervention negates the martyred past and proposes to transmit spatial poetry through the interactivity between the materiality and the “new” shapes.

The present restoration project arises from the existing space of a house with four floors, including basement, the roof and a patio with an attached construction. The brief was based on the reformulation of the interior that did not detract from the existing and, therefore, the difference was thought through certain spatial details and materials created in the different spaces of the house. The spatial distribution develops around a satircase, which hides the entrance to the basement. This entrance was hidden with white painted wood panels and a baseboard similar to the existing one. Despite the intervention maintains the language of the house, the spatial harmony between the interior spaces was improved through the homogeneity of the new materials and details designed in the common and private divisions.
