The building is located on a plot that previously corresponded to a void in the urban front. The definition of the building's volume resulted from pursuing the phased transformation objectives of the site already established by the Municipal Master Plan. The coordination established with the urban management services of the Municipality of Maia resulted in the definition of a new urban alignment for the street front (see site plan), anticipating its future volumetric standardization from this new building to Estrada da Circunvalação.

Warborn Apartment / Caiano Morgado Arquitectos Associados

The project focused on a duplex apartment on the top floor of a sea-facing building. The two starting points were the need to re-adjust layout and flow to purpose, and the wish to promote the relationship with the surrounding landscape. Therefore, the project became a process of re-design and customization. The spans and porches were re-defined to focus on and emphasize the scenic quality of the landscape as well as the transition between exterior and interior areas. The existing circular staircase was re-designed, highlighting its form and arresting its sense of movement.
