Why is it that, when criticizing one particular building designed by any given portugese architect, detractors need to speak about Siza and the whole portugese architecture? Unless, of course, you’re a portugese and wished for being, let’s say, in Dubai, or maybe in China. Look at Odris, he just didn’t like it… actually, I think Odris’ comment was way deeper and more meaningful than the one from donedone.

Derrr…. I have never designed anything myself. Have no idea about the process. Duh, and really hate the unoriginal Herman Miller Chair. And derrrr…… really think the Portugese are behind. Because in architecture, behind means obsolete. And derrrr, I am very critical without any ability to derrrr articulate a real point except what the media has fed me derrrrr. Blot!

I think this is well done and sensible at that. Maybe a little too minimalistic, but it’s not like that can be changed with interior paint, texture, etc. Quite tranquil, but a little on the boring side. I still love this though.

that is all.

this is just stupid…boring…redundant
Like almost all Portuguese architecture, white Siza wannabes

Oh, and the Herman Miller chair…very original, really nice

it’s funny because I don’t think anyone knows how far behind Portuguese architecture really is, except for the Portuguese themselves.

Excelent PRoject!

Now, my only 2 cents, would be be:

1- No need for doors between the kitchen and the living room, just leave both hallways open, it would emphasize the idea of the floating central service core.

2-In the same aidea, I would had placed the kitchen agains the bathroom, again, making it really a central service core.

Wonderful project, great piece of refurbishment! Kudos to the architect, it would be great to have some more detail drawings and maybe photos of small details.
