Invitation and jointventure project involving the regeneration of an old industrial site. This approach, sustained by a complex and dense investigation, is one of the various responses to reintegrate this neglected area into the urban and city network. Using the existing buildings for a proposed complex of small creative industries units, a theatre and a exhibition centre, this will allow to maintain and enhance the industrial legacy of the site. One new proposed building will follow the archetype of an industrial facility, creating a permeable element to the surrounding areas. As a result of this work this project was invited to be presented in a special designs’ event at the industrial complex. The future of this area is still under discussion, trying to avoid the real estate speculation and transforming this industrial site into luxury homes.
Workshops / Residential Units, keep the archetype of the linear and long volume of a factory building. Subtraction small volumes out from the main one will allow the permeability of this main element, creating walk-through passages (ground level) and amenity spaces for each of the workshops / dwellings (first level) think. create. make it work.

This was an invitation by the municipality of Alcanena to develop and improve the Museum’s newtowrk of the council. The project is placed in Serra de Santo António, in the outskirts of Alcanena (centre of Portugal) , which is characterized by the rural landscape and traditional activities. The main challenge was to merge the project into the surrounding landscape. The site has a steep topography which was dealt by creating a series of independent volumes, stepped from each other, allowing open spaces in between. The museum aims to bring out rural memories with the help of traditional activities existing in the region, such as: weaving, bakery, a cheese industry, archeology, speleology, gastronomy and stone work.
Existing Site, steep plot surrounded by a strong rural identity

The project is placed in Serra de Santo António, in the outskirts of Alcanena (centre of Portugal) , which is characterized by the rural landscape and traditional activities. The municipality had asked to keep as much as possible of a characterless existing building. Due to the requirements of the museum and the unsuitability of the existing building, was decided to keep only its structure, working a whole new envelope. This allowed to give a strong identity to the museum as well as addressing the requirements needed to preserve old and delicate costumes.
