This is a renovation project for accommodation in an old, detached house in the city center of Porto, Portugal. The existing house was designed by Januário Godinho, a prominent Portuguese architect. However, as it had been left unused for almost 10 years, the roof and floor had fallen off, and it was an unlivable situation.
