Description
There are streets that deserve to be seen from behind. Rua da Bandeirinha is one of them. Four architects, partners and friends, António Portugal and Anne Wermeille and José Maria Reis and Isabel Sereno, found a property too big for just one house, or even two. They therefore decided to add a shared office to the houses. The width of the building was divided into two halves, exactly symmetrical. Each house develops over several floors, always around a central body. Everything was designed with exemplary detail. Each floor has a function and the rooms have no doors. The two families share the marvellous garden, the continuation of the romantic garden of Virtudes: an unexpected platform with an inebriating view of Porto, the city and the river. (Paula Santos and Ivo Poças Martins, OHP’17)
