Reabilitação de 3 casas na Rua do Almada by figueiredo+pena arquitectos is a modest transformation project of three houses of different typologies and construction dates in Porto, Portugal. While the building was previously used for housing and industrial occupation, the transformation of 2018 provided housing with collective and working spaces.
This project contributes to the social-ecological transformation by merging three separate buildings into one elongated parcel, creating collective gardens with the in-between spaces. Living quality could be improved by the enlarging of the windows and the restoring of required functions. Construction was kept to a necessary minimum, keeping the original material and structure and only adding new elements when truly needed.
