Description
Over the old walls of the building of a modest neighbourhood bakery a single home grows, made for a type of urban living: transparency in the floor below, privacy of the suites and terrace in the new floor, with its wood exterior. The bakers shop, turned to the street, became a space for a kitchen and for meals where utensils, books and music intertwine through a glass wall/shelf. The new patios allow the light to be brought in the house, making it flourish with the sunshine from the outside, inside a very narrow Foz Velha block. In the middle floor, where the oven used to be, is now the music studio prepared acoustically, where new and old hits are rehearsed by a well-known Portuguese band.
