Colective Housing Building, Porto
By combining two narrow, irregularly shaped lots, it was possible to create a building with eight generously sized one-bedroom apartments. We handled the entire licensing process, detailing and construction monitoring for this project. Located on a block with strict alignment rules, the building embodies the urban setting, combining lines and proportions.
The building’s characteristic façade, which forms the basis for the design of the rest of the building, was maintained.
Our work consisted of simplifying the existing lines, giving the building a new contemporary language while maintaining the proportions of the facade openings of the 19th-century buildings.
The entrance is central, allowing for two apartments per floor, including on the ground floor.
