Condomínio da Artes in Portugal

The intervention area was a plot of approximately 1060 m2 consisting of a building facing Rua de Adolfo Casais Monteiro and astructure extending into the interior of the plot with industrial characteristics. The main building, facing Rua de Adolfo Casais Monteiro, had four floors, one of them resulting from the use of the roof space, reducing to 3 floors in the building extending to the east.

Most of the courtyard was occupied by industrial constructions, leavingonly a small open patio.The proposal aimed at the demolition of all existing constructions and impermeable floors of the interior courtyard, taking advantage of the volume of the main buildings for the distribution of thehousing program (14 units) and introducing a new set back floor, clad in pre-patinated zinc, Anthracite color, with concealed fasteners, in order to stand out from the pre-existing structure.

Due to the existing high ceilings, it was possible to introduce an intermediate floor in the original volume, an interventio nreflected only in the facades facing the interior courtyard. In the units facing Rua de Adolfo Casais Monteiro, the number of original floorswas maintained to respect the facade’s design, cleaning and restoring all granite elements, iron elements, as well as the tiles, whichare some of the oldest in Porto. These tiles are addressed in Ana Margarida Portela Domingues’ doctoral thesis, entitled “AOrnamentação Cerâmica na Arquitectura do Romantismo em Portugal”
