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.

Whether it’s drywall chunks or old shingles from your roof replacement project, not having a plan for this debris adds extra stress and hassle to an already overwhelming process.
