Another rehabilitation and this time in Óbidos

The development of the project had as a starting point a set of existing buildings, whose interiors were in an advanced state of degradation, with some points even in ruin.

The buildings that became a dwelling were joined.

The project aimed to change the exterior aspect of the buildings as little as possible, conserving and recovering the exterior walls, remodeling the interiors according to the requirements of a contemporary dwelling. The intention was to revitalize without mischaracterizing, requalifying the spaces that were "dead" and articulating them with new spaces.

The existing walls at the entrance and the roofs without tiles were maintained, which started to function as a shelter over the parking space.

In the extension to the north the house was developed, two existing volumes were joined through a space built in metal and glass structure.

The garden roof can act as an extension of the outdoor area for leisure, accessing it through spiral stairs that connect to the area surrounding the pool. This coverage, in addition to contributing to the energy sustainability of the home, reduces the impact of the built volume, visually resembling a garden.
