Casa Vilarinha

The houses in the neighborhood of Vilarinha, were built in the '60s, part of an orthogonal gridAvenues between Boavista and Dr. Antunes Guimarães, in quiet and prime location.

This construction were promoted by the state, with major financial constraints, are characterized bytheir limited size in spite of their type T3.

The intervention now performed the overhaul of the house is characterized by maintaining thevolume and exterior facades, in order to maintain its unique integration in the neighborhood and to preserve its character.

The solution was to remake the interior in a more practical and functional. The ground floor hastherefore become a unique space where is privileged the broad daylight. The articulation of space byremoving interior walls, and opening a new range in the back elevation, do the interior, which opens to a patio at the back which was transformed into a garden. Upstairs, two bedrooms with their ownbathrooms complete the project.
