The proposal to renovate this building seeks to restore its essence, concentrating on restoring and fully maintaining the main elevation, preserving all the unique elements such as stonework, railings and tiles.

Soon after, there was no hesitation. We started a project (...) and once again Atelier Pedro Carrilho Arquitectos exceeded our expectations.

Entrance Hall

Due to the fragility and extreme deterioration of the façade at the back, a major stabilization and consolidation process is planned, enhancing it by incorporating metal balconies in a reference to 19th century iron architecture.

In the formal interior composition, due to its deterioration, the complete transformation and subsequent reconstruction was considered, adapting it to a new program in line with the client’s needs. Preserving the authenticity of the original building and the links to local architecture was one of the project’s premises.
