Textual content description offered by the architects. This intervention takes place on {a partially} ruined constructing, situated within the historic heart of Barcelos, a small metropolis within the northwest of Portugal. The undertaking installs a multifunctional program: a single-family home and an structure studio. Profiting from the 2 facades (north and south) of the pre-existing constructing, dealing with two streets at totally different ranges, the next practical distribution was organized: the parking and storage space are situated on the bottom ground, with entry from the road at a decrease stage (dealing with north); the studio, on the primary ground, with entry from the road situated in a better stage (dealing with south); the housing unit, occupying the third and fourth flooring.
The undertaking recovers and revisits conventional building strategies, significantly with regard to the construction (picket beams supported on the perimeter partitions manufactured from granite masonry) and the composition and materiality of the facades (decorative stonework and picket frames). A ground was added (to accommodate the personal space/bedrooms of the home) and its elevations spotlight the guiding traces of the geometry of the primitive constructing. This ground is about again in relation to the alignment of the present facades, permitting a response to 3 basic targets: the creation of outside dwelling areas/balconies; the demarcation between eras and languages (on this ground, corrugated sheet steel is adopted because the predominant exterior masking materials, usually utilized in blind gables between buildings); lowering the impression of the development on the profile of the 2 streets that border it.
On the within, two methods have been applied: the articulation between up to date and conventional parts, alluding to the constructing’s numerous historic intervals; the creation of open-plan areas and using supplies and units permeable to mild, in order that in every compartment you possibly can expertise the simultaneous presence of the lighting and atmosphere of every of the streets that the constructing faces.
