Description

The project of renovation by architect Pedro Vieira started by converting the old ground floor shop and warehouse into an office, sitting room and kitchen in a sort of “open space” with a fireplace in the middle and a direct connection to the patio and backyard. In the upper floor, the bedrooms were kept and only the bathrooms were renovated. With a low budget, the roughness of the materials was taken on: the cement floor, the wood agglomerate furniture or the recycling of old doors. Even so, details uncover small luxuries in the delicate design of the iron frames, in the grids of the frontal windows or in the specially made tiles of the façade that restore the traditional theme of the diamond shape. This house is proof that it’s possible to do a lot with very little.
