Conversion of an apartment
L: Porto, PT
Y: ongoing since 2024 A flat in a narrow, elongated house. Straddled between a tranquil narrow street and a green courtyard. From the 1970s in the centre of the city of Porto. Its appearance, organisation and structure reflect the time of its construction and the manner of the place.
The conversion reorganises the space in favour of two generous rooms at the bright extremities of the property. This is where people gather, are living and working, cooking and eating. In alcoves, the sleeping quarters are reduced to their essence and, together with the sanitary area, they meander along a functional area in the depth of the floor plan.
