Located in a suburban context in the outskirts of Braga, northern Portugal, this project tackles the specific constraints of a very generic 1980’s residential neighbourhood of semi-detached houses.
The new intervention will “complete” the void between semi-detached houses while dealing with the significant volume and street slope by splitting the interior space in multiple levels with surprising cross views connecting all divisions.
