YEAR: 2022 - AT THE MOMENT
This building is located in an affluent suburb of the Ghanaian city of Accra. The objective was to create a multi-family house that respected the client’s wishes: 3 different types of typologies that, seen from the outside, the built volume looked like a whole complex.
First, this project would have to be developed as a gated community, with a main entrance that does not feel like a conventional entrance to a building of this nature.
Secondly, this condominium contains different types of typologies:
- One-bedroom apartments;
- Two-bedroom apartments;
- A the top of the building is located two duplex apartments with 3 bedrooms;
- Two houses with four bedrooms.
The complex should have some infrastructures such as: a swimming pool, a gym, a variety of different stores, a restaurant and laundry services.
The entire aesthetic concept of the volume and materials, respects the client’s desire to implement a building that breaks with the modern classic look of most constructions in the area. At his request, an attempt was made to create a building with an industrial, minimalist and somewhat playful/youthful appearance, since the sale of these apartments and houses was intended for young people.

This building is located in the Historical Center of Barcelos. It was a old colective housing with a commercial ground floor, so was necessary some deep changes to the building during its rehabilitation to become a hostel. The third floor, which is a expansion to the existence building, was design to be transperent and with light feeling, so that way, don’t have a big presence to the skyline with a 180º view to the city.
The concept of the interior design of the Hostel came from the client - use famous handicraft pieces from craftsmen of Barcelos. All the furniture and the drawings of the wallpaper for the bedrooms, are a representation of each handicraft piece, from the color, texture, to the shape and polishing/shine.

The building of the Social Center of Nogueira, which is a Social Center Institution of the Parish of Nogueira, needs a requalification of the day center interior.
The main objective is to double the response capacity of the number of children in the day care center, as well as comply with accessibility legislation. The existing building was designed in 1983, therefore it does not observe with the actual legislation in some matters.
The expanded volume on the 1st Floor tries to follow the constructive line of the existing building without losing its own contemporaneity.

The design of APT T3D, which is for a midle-age couple, had to be more classic and with sober colors and finishings.
The existing layout had to much bathrooms, so the bigger change, was the merge of two bathrooms into one.
The master suite design and decor, tries to give a more darker and more mature ambience, with color palette around the dark brownish color including the wood flooring and the closet.
