The building dates back to the 18th century and still has architectural features that give it a value of municipal interest that must be safeguarded. The reconstruction works bet on the maintenance of the volumetric set, of the roofs and ceilings of the built volumes, and also on the maximum recovery of the pre-existent architectural and decorative elements, both interior and exterior. The project kept almost entirely the façades with all their relevant particularities, as well as, their interior essence, namely by maintaining the masonry ceilings or stucco planes, which were handcraftedly restored and preserved in the old halls converted into flats, thus contributing for the valorisation and identity of the spaces. The intervention was essentially guided by the preservation of the most important cultural, architectural, historical and artistic elements of the building, which contribute to the valorisation and identity of the space.
In short, the construction is now composed of 17 accommodation units, assigned to tourist use. The development is aimed at users who value local history and wish to inhabit spaces of unique refinement.
Bio António Fernandez Architects is an architecture and urbanism company, which throughout its existence has been developing several projects in different areas, such as housing, equipment, commerce and services, also dedicating itself to the design of furniture and graphic design integrated in the works that creates.
The architecture office is also dedicated to the design of the space environment, either small or large scale, instilling in its creation the same rigor and devotion in the idealization, realization and materialization of the architectural and design works that it conceives.
