Largo João do Rio Apartment

A family apartment, representative of a formal bourgeois typology from the 1950s, but with an inadequate relationship to solar orientation. Carefully considered, targeted demolitions, together with the reorganisation of the building services, allow for a new layout that takes advantage of visual connections with the exterior without compromising the existing structure. The rooms retain their balanced proportions, while the house gains clarity and a new sense of openness, enhanced by the generosity with which natural light fills every space.
