Requalification and expansion project of an existing house, set in belém neighborhood, in Lisbon, Portugal.


In the existing plot, there was a one store house, a backyard and the ruins of an old warehouse.


The project had the main goal of rehabilitating the existing house and expanding its total area through the addition of an upper floor.


The existing front facade (characterized by a higher frieze of historical tiles) was preserved and treated. There was a free reorganization of the internal layout of the ground floor, to hold the social program of the house. The upper floor holds the private house program – rooms.


At the backyard, there was a topography arrangement , in order to optimize the relationship between the house and the outdoor areas. The old warehouse was converted into a walled garden, with a small storage at one corner.


From the street entry to the walled garden at the back, the house develops in sequential levels, in order to reduce the significant difference of hights, at the same time promoting a smooth transition between inside and outside. The house is south-west-north-west solar orientation and is intended for a family composed of a couple and three children. The house has a South-North solar orientation and it is intended for a family composed by a couple and three children.


In the front facade, it was decided to use the green tile, recovering the plasticity of the typical facades of that neighborhood. The main interior covering materials are; wood, sanded and varnished cement, tile and glass mosaic.


 


Projecto de requalificação e ampliação de uma moradia existente de um lote urbano, inserido numa banda de moradias do bairro de Belém, em Lisboa, Portugal.


Do lote existente faziam parte uma casa de apenas um piso, um logradouro e as ruínas de um armazém anexo a tardoz. O projeto teve como principal premissa a requalificação da construção existente e a ampliação da área total da casa, através da adição de um piso superior.


Sem prejuízo da preservação e tratamento da fachada frente existente (caracterizada por um friso superior de azulejos classificado), procedeu-se a uma reorganização livre do layout interno do piso térreo, destinado a receber o programa social da casa. O piso superior é destinado aos quartos da casa.


Procedeu-se ainda à requalificação do logradouro, alterando significativamente a sua topografia, de forma a optimizar a relação da casa com as áreas externas a tardoz. O armazém anexo foi convertido num jardim murado, com um pequeno anexo de arrumos.


Desde a cota de entrada da rua das Terras até ao jardim murado, a casa desenvolve-se em patamares sequenciais, atenuando a significativa diferença de cotas existente e promovendo uma transição harmoniosa entre o interior e o exterior. A casa tem orientação solar Sudoeste-Noroeste e destina-se a uma família composta por um casal e três filhos.


Na fachada da frente, optou-se pelo revestimento a azulejo vidrado cor verde esmeralda, recuperando a plasticidade das fachadas típicas daquela banda. No interior, os principais materiais de revestimento de piso e parede são;  madeira, cimento afagado e envernizado, azulejo e pastilha de vidro.
