Project Description
Our main challenge was to re-design an existing building that was partially ruined by keeping the intrinsic values of the existing construction and therefore renovate it following the same old traditional architecture technics. We investigated the old construction processes, studied the previous building and then started designing the new concept using the same materials, following the same construction and intergrating some new features and new technical specifications in order to improve the entire environment, though preserving the primordial values.
The building is new but it was built as if it was done in the past. The city hasn't lost this layes and even in the building interiors one can capture and feel the history of Lisbon.
