Catarina Eufémia

Description

The main objective of the project is to recover the memory of summer houses on the Portuguese coast through the reinterpretation of the vernacular architecture of the coast. Respecting the existing configuration, a type building was developed that serves as a matrix in the development of the entire urban complex.

The proposal consists of 7 new buildings sized according to the current experience of the place and the quality of the living space they create. The need for parking for them will be guaranteed by the creation of parking cellars, which will allow them to be hidden from view and vacate the passable urban space.

Currently the street fashion is one floor, with this proposal the street fashion will be 2 floors with use of the attic. The height of the ridge of the buildings fits the general reading of the street, and will be aligned by the seven buildings that are part of the set to be built.
