The project in Vila do Conde, Portugal, has as its brief the construction of a single family house and a collective housing building, to be put up for rent, with two apartment and a store for commerce or services.
The main building is located on the site of the existing building, which had only one floor, and maintains the old façade towards Comendador António Fernandes da Costa Street, with the second floor being set back from the street to move away from the façade of the building on the other side of the street, thus also allowing you to view the roof of the Capela dos Passos (chapel) which is on the north side of the block.
The second building, which will be for rent, was built on Conde D. Mendo Street, a busier street with several multi storey buildings with shops on the ground floor, thus leaving the corner with the Alminhas de São José (small street chapel) and the existing granite wall untouched.
