Casa do Limoeiro is a summer house located in a small village on the Costa Vicentina. The rehabilitation of this century-old abandoned house brought to light the dichotomous discussion between tradition and contemporaneity. The challenge was clearly how to build with simple, indigenous materials that are traditionally present in the local culture, adapting them to the new challenges of contemporary living.

The “Typographia Cowork” is located inside the Fernandina's defensive wall, element that defines the medieval historical centre of Porto, as part of the Unesco's World Heritage urban environment. It takes place in a XVII century buliding that has been built originally as bourgois house, then a convent, and, on the XX century, a low cost inn, along sides with tavern and a Typography. After the explosion of the historic center and densification of the traditional city of the century. In the 19th century, this axis now regains a new dynamic with the return and recovery of the vast vacant architectural heritage. Greater awareness and appreciation of the heritage built by the younger generations has attracted interest and intention to occupy this area of the city. This project was born out of that desire.

Long and far goes the golden time of the Oporto’s industrial era during the so called 1st Modernity and with it the deurbanization of some parts of the city. It’s legacy has invariably been the malfunction or inadaptation of the big industrial buildings and so they are left to its own tragic fate. This shrinking “rusty” areas are real urban and architectural lab’s waiting for a new life. This fact sets on track a real opportunity to experiment and to explore new tipologies and forms of living that only this kind of space can render.
