Susanna Moreira — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The single-family home, located in Vila Nova de Gaia, has three floors and was designed to take advantage of the surrounding landscape The integration with the existing topography made it possible to structure the different spaces on each floor and their respective access, ensuring that the social areas and the private bedroom spaces benefit the views over the landscape, including the sea, the Douro estuary, the Douro River and the city of Porto.

Mill House / Silverline

Susanna Moreira — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 09:55:00 +0000

Implanted within an agricultural property in Vila Nova de Gaia, characterized by gentle slopes, the Casa do Engenho is part of a built ensemble from the early 18th century, composed of the main residence, cultivated areas, a threshing floor, wells - one of which is the old "mill" - and small support buildings. This complementary body, originally dedicated to hosting family gatherings and celebrations, had a rigid and compartmentalized organization that limited its functionality and daily life.

Casa da afurada / Merooficina

Andreas Luco — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Located in the residential area of Afurada, the house had been uninhabited for several years, and the degradation caused by the passage of time and poor modifications and maintenance work disrupted the clear reading of its spaces. The makeshift divisions, which informally divided the house into two dwellings, concealed the original open succession of interconnected spaces that may have served as the basis for an enfilade floor plan.

House in Douro Valley / Logoexisto by Paz da Costa | Arquitetura + Interiores

Susanna Moreira — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

On a first approach to the site, its features seemed very familiar, formed by “socalcos” a kind of staggered landscape traditional to the Portuguese region of Douro vineyards, whose schist walls sharply graze the scenery. It didn’t exactly invite construction...

Olidouro House / oitoo

Valeria Silva — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Even though the charming historic centres are the most visible face of refurbishments and reuse interventions, it seems that this architectural theme is fertile ground for implementation throughout the expansive 20th century peripheries surrounding our biggest cities.

Portfolio Vinhos / Studium

Andreas Luco — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 09:00:00 +0000

How to engage the narrative of such a long and diverse, yet repetitive topic? The wine, the product, the context, the view, the landscape, the this, the that. How to involve the values of the corporation, beyond the typical approach of the recurrent superficial display of values and mission statements? Emotionally. Theologically. First, by implicating the emotional state in which we can relate ourselves with each individual space when we traverse the entire site.

São Felix Apartment / Paulo Moreira Architectures

Andreas Luco — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 18:00:00 +0000

The ocean is the most striking feature of the landscape surrounding the Sao Felix Apartment. The breathtaking views are accentuated by a rather sober intervention in terms of material expression. The common areas in the apartment (living room, dining room and kitchen) are arranged around a standalone volume, which performs a structural function.

MC House / Henrique Soares Pinheiro

Andreas Luco — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:00:00 +0000

The MC House has little expression for those who observe it from the outside, from the street. It is located in the interior of the lot. There was little or almost no interference with the natural land quotas, the building, practically a single deck, rests on it. The lower floor arises due to the need to adapt to the terrain morphology.

Morro Apartment / Hinterland Architecture Studio

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 09:00:00 +0000

The small apartment, with only 60sqm is part of a 60’s affordable rent building. The original house is divided into minimum spaces, articulated by the entrance hall and a small corridor. The aim of the project was to maximize the living space of the house, stripping the space to the bare minimum and reorganizing the plan.

Daniela Cardenas — Wed, 12 Oct 2016 09:00:00 +0000

A building on a privileged site in dialogue with the emblematic D.Luís I bridge, the river, facing the houses and Porto´s Ribeira, embedded within a unique landscape that leads us where the Douro crosses the horizon. Building on top of this area protected under the flag of Unesco with its charming historical character, was a delicate process – a deep reflection made of very strong restrictions.
