CULTURAL AND PARISH CENTRE 2008 - Braga, Portugal The Diocese of Braga wanted to bring college students and Faith closer in a new building to be designed in the university campus. Besides a small chapel and a few sleeping rooms for visitors of the university, the building was suposed to be a cultural centre for the students, containing a variety of functions such as a small cafeteria, a library, study rooms, projection rooms and a multi-purposed open space. The mixture of functions led to a conceptual approach based on the movement through the building and the mutation of the spaces. This was materialized into two diferent layers; A concrete, heavier and continuos space, shaping itself to the function along the way, creating the circulation in the building and fixed on the most important functions. The second layer, with the rest of the program, is made of glass and wood panels boxes that slide in the heavier concrete mass. When designing with a conceptual approach, the generic intentionality is not always as obvious for the user as it is for the designer, but this concept is what gives the building its character.

VILLAGE REACTIVATION 2009 - Lindoso, Portugal Lindoso is a medieval village located in the hilly northern Portugal. It’s landscape is shaped by stone constructions, a medieval castle, the “espigueiros”, a vernacular invention to store crops away from animals and the man made terraces in the sloped fields. Slowly loosing its population, this exercise was opened for ideas on what could be done to take advantage of the vilage potentials and if possible to bring it back to life. This proposal is supported on museumification, tourism and farming. The idea is to have a farm that receives guests, allowing them to participate in the community traditions, bringing them closer to earth and vernacular culture while enjoying the relaxing and beautiful landscape and the centuries of history carved in the place. To bring this Idea to life, it would have to generate employment and a small economy based on farming and tourism so the choice for the program was to have a reception with a shop where local products could be sold, a restaurant and the individual cabines to receive guests. This intervention was partly based on the renovation of existing old stone buildings and partly on the new constructed cabines in corten steel, placing a landmark on this beautiful, characteristic landscape.

VIENNA HOUSE OF MUSIC 2010 - Wien, Austria It is impossible to listen to two diferent compositions at the same time. Music is something that has to be isolated from other sounds in order to be apreciated. Designing a house of music for vienna means to create a moment of silence between the symphony of the city and the building. The entrance is made through the pathio, which brings the silence between the building and the city. Two dimensions are created; the silence of the pathio and the expression of a house of music presented to its surroundings.

DAY CARE AND COMMUNITY CENTRE 2010/ 2011 - Tampere, Finland Adapting a building to a different function from the one it was initially designed while keeping the same ideas of shape and expression was the challenge of this project. In the competition stage, the building was meant to be a community centre, serving several activities for the new arising town of Vuores. However, further in the development stage, the clients decided the building should work mainly as a day care centre, keeping only part of the communal functions for special ocasions and night time; This should be done keeping the same shape. Two day care modules with two different rooms each (eat/work and sleep/play) were needed, plus all the service areas and functions (hall, cloaks, kitchen, etc.. ) for only 20 m² extra. To fit all the complex program in only 320 m² was a challenge that could be solved only by excluding all corridors, distributing all spaces around one main hall; and by bringing in the flexibility of moveable walls that could transform the space into different functions according to the needs. Besides this, the building had to be passive, taking in all kinds of efficient technology that was extensively discussed during the whole planning of the building. This resulted in a main distributing core, surrounded by all the functions, each taking its place according to the best relation of the function to sun exposition, views and the different outside spaces they were related to. In the core room, all walls are furnished with wood, except the one that reaches to the roof windows. This one is a white wall, reflecting the natural light and serving as a plan for the projector.

NEW TRANSPORT CENTRE 2012 - Tampere, Finland The city of Tampere is in need of a new equipment to serve as a terminal connecting all the main public transport services. The building should be built in between the existing Tampere train station and the new tampere arena, a new financial and sports centre. This complex mixture of transport services posed a challenge in the planning of all the traffic, parking lots, loading bays, platform connections for trains and buses, taxi area, drop areas, offices, commercial areas and restaurants. All of this considering that the building will be in contact to only one city street from its west facade. Other office buildings were also needed to complete the area planning and to fulfill the goal to transform the area into a new financial district, however, the transport centre is the key element in this new dinamic area to come and the most complex as an architectural challenge.

APARTMENT RENOVATION 2013 to presenst - Lisbon, Portugal There was an urgent need of renovation for this 70 year old apartment. Time, successive owners and functions brought the beautiful flat in the centre of Lisbon to an advanced state of degradation. The project had to consider the possibility of dividing the intervention in different stages to dissolve the costs and all kitchen equipment and furniture are 2nd hand and should be adapted to fit the new kitchen as they were still in excellent condition. Many of the original elements like doors, floor and window blinds were preserved and restored when necessary to keep the original character and the layout was thought out so that the minimum amount of walls had to be taken down. The project was idealised in a way that a new, more functional and simple atmosphere could be attained through minimal structural changes and to keep some of the original character of the original urban plan of Architect Jacobetty Rosa.

EMERGENCY HOUSING 2013 - Disaster Areas Combining two great products, this project is an alternative to the poor and unnefective available solutions to provide shelter in natural disaster situations. This proposal combines the parametric method of eentileen architects; a simple, cheap and fast construction method that functions like lego together with a new dutch technology that allows to produce extremely good quality materials from the left-overs of all different kinds of crops. This proposal is based on the concept that a farming field provides food, jobs and shelters in case of emergency situations with only very little logistics needed. Two people can build a real house for four people in 16 hours. This is better than a tent and only marginally slower to build up. It is also cheaper than the permanent typical construction you normally find on those sites and can be used without limitations. There is a possibility of adding layers, providing insulation, space extension and waterproofing.

LAST DAYS HOSPICE 2013/2014 - Brædstrup, Denmark The comune of Braedstrup launched an invited competition for a new hospice that Sophus Søbye architects won in collaboration with blaavand & Hansson office. After the first stage of the competition, it was up to Sophus Søbye architects to develop the project in further detail and to execute the licensing stage drawings. Running on a tight budget, all square meters counted but an effort was made to provide the best atmoshperes as possible on such a delicate and important program. Good accessibility and strong relation with the landscape and gardens was of the utmost importance. Combinig these two factors left us with a rounded plan where the corridors are straight for simple and effective functionality but where the whole lenght of the corridors is kept invisible creating an elemnt of surprise and taking away the formality. This alows as well for the building to naturally embrace the landscape, making an ilusion of courtyard. All individual rooms face the green gardens as well as a few gathering smaller halls, allowing to break the social component of the building into smaller, more quiet and peacefull fragments.

PANORAMIC TOWER 2010 - Guimarães, Portugal
elevation B
one of the many types of connection used
The exercise consisted in designing a small panomaramic tower for the University gardens and to build a model in the scale of 1:50 using as similar as possible materials to the real structure. In this case, since the tower was a steak structure, we used aluminium profiles, easy to find in any brico store. It was a chalenge and a very enriching experience cutting all profiles in correct measures and to join them all together to create the tower. This provided with a better understanding to how a real structure is build and kept standing.
