Oporto, Oporto, Portugal

Magnificent building measuring 15.4 meters wide, in ruins, consisting of three floors and attic spaces, with demolitions already carried out inside, with an architectural project approved for the construction and expansion of seven units, five for housing, one T1+2, two T1+1, one T3 and one T4, all duplexes and two service units.
The proposed program envisages areas of 38 and 50 square meters for service units and 80 square meters for housing and 245 square meters for T4.
Two of the units will have very generous gardens and the others will be supported by balconies and terraces.
In this project, the front facade and its generous scale were valued, promoting family housing typologies, moving away from the small types that abound in historic areas.
Located in the heart of the city of Porto, on a quiet one-way street, within walking distance of the main tourist attractions, such as S. Bento Station, the Cathedral, Ponte Luís I, Avenida dos Aliados, Rua de Santa Catarina, Mercado do Bolhão , between others. In the neighborhood you can find all types of local commerce, and services such as police, pharmacy, banks, among others. The Douro River and the waterfront are just 350 meters away, and Ribeira is just a 10-minute walk away. It also has easy access to public transport, with buses just a few meters away and a metro and train station 700 meters away. Access is excellent, being eight minutes from the access to the A1 North/South and one minute from the Ponte Infante Dom Henrique, which connects Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia.
Importantly, an addition to the project was recently submitted to change the typologies and number of fractions, presenting a new organization, with 13 fractions divided into 1 T0 with 52m2, 8 T1's and 4 T2's in Duplex. Currently being approved by the City Council.
