Vila Real de Santo António

Description

The project main goal is about recreating the matrix and proportions of the old town with a contemporary image, prioritizing the views and the relation with the river Guadiana.

As well as the project aims to fit the urban plan, it also aims to clearly defines the private and public spaces in order to do both: guarantee the security of the new complex and invite townspeople to live a new riverfront.

The design, materials and colors chosen for the buildings are a reinterpretation of the vernacular construction in the south of Portugal.
