Description
In the fortified city, the great big public or private buildings stand out with volumes, design and symbology that distinguishes and highlights them. However, it’s the small buildings and constructions that give texture, density and diversity to the streets and neighbourhoods of the centre. The Torrinha House, a modest construction, is a recent rehabilitation where you can see the potential of contemporary architecture when facing pre-existing conditions, new commodities, functions, aesthetic dimension, give value to small and modest spaces, bringing them to a current way of life, in a small lot, with garage and garden in the centre of Porto.
