Alves Sardinha House / Atelier Bruno Martins

closed

Text description provided by the architects.In the Sardinha house there was a strong pre-existence, on which a huge base covered the entire plot of land, since its original construction, and which remained almost unchanged even after the deep intervention that the house suffered. This base, which raises the entire lot 4 meters above the level of the road, remains a memory of what it once was. The great transformation appears on the 2 floors above this base, which will only be integrated in the entire existence, but also with its pre-existence, in a new intervention that would have to unite the entire proposal.
