More fresh portuguese architecture, thanks to photographer Joao Morgado for sharing this with us!

Aires Mateus is an office that has been working on minimal projects, blending the new with the old in a subtle way. More pictures after the jump.

Great project.
Thanks to João Morgado for sharing his beautiful photos.
Just a small remark: It’s “Santa Marta”, not “Santa Maria”.
