The façade presented a particular challenge, requiring careful consideration of the building’s dialogue with Porto’s riverside.
Its original features, such as the carved frames and antique tiles were preserved, while modern thermal and acoustic insulation was discreetly integrated to meet contemporary living standards.
The rehabilitation required a full-scale intervention from the core to the outer structure. Each floor presented specific structural challenges, demanding unique solutions.
By creating a design language that seamlessly blends past and present, the project captures the essence of heritage while embracing modernity.
Using BIM technology, every beam and detail was reviewed to ensure accuracy and respect for the building’s original design.
