Sétimo Ano de Praia Beach Support Facility / Lousinha Arquitectos

Susanna Moreira — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

This fully serviced Beach Support Facility is located at Praia da Barra in Ílhavo, respecting the Ovar–Marinha Grande Coastal‑Zone Management Plan. That plan, in force since 2017, required the facility to be moved east of the boardwalk that links the local beaches, with the consequent demolition of the existing structure. Formally, the building is defined by its annular geometry, which shields users from prevailing northerly winds on the south‑facing terrace while reducing visual impact by aligning the ring's internal void with one of the dune's highest points. For centuries, the circular plan has been associated with unity, harmony and even eternity, encouraging spatial continuity.

Cycle and Pedestrian Crossing Over the Fareja Bridge / Rómulo Neto Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The local government challenged us to design a new pedestrian and cycling crossing between the banks of Vagos and Sousa. The old bridge, built on June 27, 1855, and closed in 1978, is currently in ruins and should be preserved as an integral part of the landscape and the historical memory of the site. However, being aware that the ruins may eventually disappear over time, the main challenge was to design a "museum bridge" that would enhance the existing structure, while simultaneously having its own identity and being capable of enduring and functioning autonomously in the future.

ORIZZONT Apartments / RVdM Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 11:00:00 +0000

ORIZZONT BUILDING - Aveiro Until recently the city of Aveiro was turned back to the water landscape. The salt pans and the Ria de Aveiro were understood, especially until the 1980s, as spaces that were affected by industrial production. For the production of salt, the collection of ‘moliço’ and the careless use of its channels as wastewater conductors of the region's industry. Everything has changed, however, for the better. The building is now positioned in a privileged location facing the Ria, on the western edge of the city.

Ubiwhere's Headquarters / Ubiwhere

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 09 Jun 2018 05:00:00 +0000

The intervention space was demanding: two buildings with more than 100 years of stories. Two distinct buildings of the early twentieth century with two main streets, whose main purpose was to become the new headquarters of Ubiwhere, a software company. The houses were neglected by the passage of time and flogged by the desertion, bringing to the project redoubled complexity. Located in Aveiro’s city center, in the famous "Barrocas" area, the project is part of a consolidated and mostly a residential area. The main difficulty would be to maintain the essence of the turn of the century, adapting it to the present day with special care and authenticity, therefore, the main objective was to preserve and restore the existing structures in the two buildings, keeping the marks of time.
