Entry Description

1970s Apartment Renovation
Located in Foz do Douro, Porto.

The project aimed to enhance the unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean, increasing the permeability between the interior and exterior, through wide windows with full opening. The intensive use of the wood in the interior floors and ceilings and in the exterior walls and floors was based on a nautical inspiration provided by the location.
The division between the living room and the kitchen was realized with shutters, allowing a total opening between the two spaces, making them when desired an open space.
