Description
Stimulated by the proximity of the railroad and the Port wine, the old warehouse that today is an architecture studio is part of a group that before was occupied by warehouses and factories of boxes, cork stoppers, bottles and demijohns. Its access is made by the top of the nave visually dominated by the structure of the wood covering, the two plans articulate two accesses at different levels of the two streets. The initial installation in the year 2000 rationally occupied the upper floor with an open space that explores visually the structure of the roof, opening a mezzanine that separates the individual workstations from the central circulation imposed by the entrance of the warehouse. In 2016, the extension made created an axial staircase that connects the studio to the kitchen, bathrooms and main office located on the ground floor. In the materials you can see clearly the two dates of intervention with their continuity and unity.
