Story behind the design.
The São Bernardo House project is a story of careful rehabilitation and adaptation. In Campo de Ourique, Lisbon, at 84 S. Bernardo Street, the project’s goal is to enlarge and renovate an existing single-family home. This project was not just about building; it was also about respecting the building’s historical integrity while adhering to contemporary requirements and laws.
The project underwent careful planning and modifications in order to comply with regulations and mix in with the surrounding urban fabric. This involved reworking roof structures, maintaining original architectural aspects, and recalculating facade averages in order to assure compliance while improving the building’s visual attractiveness. A level with mansard windows was added as part of the intended enlargement to provide more living space without sacrificing the building’s overall proportions or aesthetic integrity.
The project’s significance also stems from its all-encompassing strategy for sustainable development and urban revitalization. São Bernardo House embodies a commitment to improving urban life while honoring the neighborhood’s legacy through the integration of new construction techniques, preservation of old architectural characteristics, and optimization of interior layouts. The project establishes a precedent for responsible urban development by adhering to regulatory norms, considering environmental effect, and designing thoughtfully. These factors enhance the community’s overall well-being and guarantee a sustainable future for future generations.
