TOMÉ LOPES HOUSE REFURBISHMENT OF A ONE-FAMILY HOUSE NEIGHBOURHOOD ARCO CEGO, LISBOA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Civil Engineer: Photographer: General Contractor: 1995 1998 Cristina Castanheira, Filipa Mourão, Valentino Capelo de Sousa Planear Concepção Estrutural José Manuel Rodrigues Tomé Matos Lopes Bairro do Arco Cego, Lisboa Direct Administration The program predicts the refurbishment of a one-family house, on the first social housing neighbourhood of Lisbon, designed and built between 1919 and 1933. Since then, the city transformed around it drastically, thus turning the peripheral and bucolic complex into a new and dynamic urban centre. Well protected with restricted rules, this neighbourhood keeps its structure intact, along the years. The intervention aims to refurbish the existing construction, respecting nowadays parameters of quality also given the place where it s located. But the project s main challenge is different. A careful reading of the building reveals in its genesis, under the traditionalist lexicon of that time and besides all the inadequate changes made after, a clear sense of modernity. The intervention is an opportunity to turn this explicit, until now, always postponed. The work can be defined mainly as a process of decantation, eliminating the elements in excess, and ascertaining the remaining elements design, this way emphasising the essential qualities of the space.
SOUTH AISLE EXHIBITION GALLERY SANTA MARIA DE ALCOBAÇA S MONASTERY ALCOBAÇA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Engineering: Photographer: General Contractor: 1998 2002 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne Ricardo Vaz, Filipa Mourão, Valentino Sousa, João Botelho, Filipa Junqueira A2P Eng. João Appleton, GR Eng. Grade Ribeiro, JOULE Eng. Caetano Gonçalves, Eng. José Galvão Teles Daniel Malhão / H. Ruas IPPAR, apoio do Arq. João Teixeira Mosteiro de Stª Maria de Alcobaça Alcobaça Teixeira Duarte Spaces revealing new perspectives and dimensions, presenting challenges towards the rescue of its uses and memories, in a global set only then apprehended, which forces the consolidation of elements weakened through time, in a process of repackaging this spaces towards new readings and new uses, introducing new imprints of new contemporaneity, on the continue process of evolution of the monumental set. The project aims to privilege the immanent character of the pre-existence in relation to new programmatic contents. The purpose was the creation of a space capable of receiving activities with a temporary character, in particular of an exhibition nature. The demolition and previous archaeological works revealed pre-existing fragments which broaden the approach s perspective of this magnificent new space, that was marked by the discovery and restitution of a monumental staircase on the south aisle of the monument. The material used was chosen so it would emphasize the deprived hieratic subjacent to the Cistercian architecture.
RECOVERY OF THE BARN BUILDING SANTA MARIA DE ALCOBAÇA S MONASTERY ALCOBAÇA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Photographer: 2000 2002 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne Diogo Pato, Patrícia Braga IPPAR Mosteiro de Stª Maria de Alcobaça Alcobaça Behind the South Aisle arm of Santa Maria de Alcobaça s Monastery exists an unoccupied vast area where, away from the other constructions, a small building that has been used as a barn is in an advanced state of deterioration. The idea to recover this building followed the refurbishment made on the South Aisle where a noble staircase of great dimensions was found, which let to the believe that it was a distribution space, articulating this aisle with another one, perpendicular to this. It would have existed, or at least the plan to exist, a construction symmetrical to the one existing in the North Aisle of which the barn building would be part. But once isolated, the barn suffered some adaptations and additions, explaining the intriguing solution of fenestration and the out passing of the wall alignment, that afterwards was covered with a new hip roof. This historical comprehension of the building, and its paper in the monastery logic, can be valuable information for posterior interventions, of a more extensive scope. Regarding to its recovery, the barn is thought as an isolated piece. Once there was no program defined for this building, the intervention was mainly the restoration of the existing elements. Completing stone and plaster, replacing damaged wood, cleaning stone. The rigor of the old construction is confirmed, and it reveals in the new stone pavement, squared stone pieces with 1m side, without corrections.
ANA FIGUEIREDO E JOÃO BRION SANCHES HOUSE REFURBISHMENT OF A ONE-FAMILY HOUSE LISBOA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Civil Engineer: Photographer: General Contractor: 2000 2004 Miguel Oliveira, Isabel Monteiro, Patricia Braga, Raquel Capelo A2P Consult, Estudos e Projectos Lda. José Manuel Rodrigues Ana Figueiredo, João Brion Sanches Rua de S. João da Mata, Lisboa APG - Álvaro Pereira & Gomes The occupation of Lisbon s neighbourhood, later called Lapa, was consolidated around 1767, as seen in an aerial view of Lisbon from this year. In this drawing, the gazebo is already identifiable, its squared base and high inclined roof on top of a house in S. João da Mata street. It s a noble house, planned for one family housing. The building has a squared plan, occupying the street front, freeing an arborized backyard. The program, besides the gazebo, was organized in three storeys: ground floor for the service areas, first floor the noble one and the last for the household employees. The house is distinguished for the quality of its project, for the balance of its proportions in its strict abeyance to symmetry and also for the singularity of some elements, such as the hip roof (4 sided roof) and the tower. The house stands up also because of the contrast established by the confining buildings, constructed obeying the pragmatic rules of multi-family housing. The building came to suffer continuous successive losses such as: its fractioning in multiple apartments, various adaptations and additions which jeopardised the initial house and its degradations almost till the ruin. The comeback to a single family housing guarantees the building recover. The creation of habitable conditions, security and comfort approximates the proposal to the building s original plan.
À MARGEM, BAR IN BOM SUCESSO S DOCK BELÉM LISBOA Work Conclusion date: Civil Engineer: Photographer: 2002 2006 José Ricardo Vaz Betar Miguel Villar José Manuel Rodrigues À margem, Lda. Belém, Lisboa In a zone exposed to strong winds, a structure for a baresplanade is created so that, although in keeping with the ephemeral character of a kiosk, it makes it possible to have a greater adaptability in its implantation and in its relation with the river and the city. The space is closed only when necessary, allowing for a greater versatility according to the weather, thereby acquiring the characteristics of a covered esplanade. The services are located in an underground level. Located in Lisbon's Port, on the riverside of the Tagus River, the place is surrounded by the city's culture and history. Without denying it's involving area or closing itself towards the city, the object does not take a leading role. It stands back, watching the River pass by. Due to its ephemeral structure, it is not bound to the site permanently. Like a boat on land, this object could weigh anchor and sail. Considering the symbolic characteristics of the place and its unique location, one attempts to break visual barriers, allowing for a total transparency. Its drawing as an object, in the detail, in the choice of materials and in its execution contribute to this. A one and only metallic element a profile in I and glass define the structure and its closing, suggesting the ribs of a boat. The metallic elements that constitute the structure and the floor are normalized and can thus be assembled and reused easily. In the extension of the beams the sliding doors project outwards. The white captures and returns atmospheres.
URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF ALCOBAÇA SURROUNDINGS OF ALCOBAÇA S MONASTERY ALCOBAÇA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Landscape design: Engineering: Photographer: General Contractor: 2003 2005 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne Alonso Frölich, Hélder Coelho, Luís Ucha, Nuno Micael, Patrícia Novo, Raquel Capelo, Ricardo Vaz, Rui Vinagre Marta Byrne A2P Eng. João Appleton, Eng. Grade Ribeiro, Joule, Grafermonte, Eng. José Galvão Teles José Manuel Rodrigues Câmara Municipal de Alcobaça Alcobaça Edifer / Costa & Carvalho The architectural design aims to promote and encourage a relationship of complementariness and harmony between the City and the Monastery. With all its symbolic value, water was an ally of the monks. Supplying the Abbey with water and draining it entailed the construction of sluices and branches for its collection and distribution. The Monastery was erected at the bottom of two valleys before the confluence of two rivers. The Alcôa, on higher ground, allows water to be collected, and the Baça, on lower ground, draines it. Celebrating the water and sensing the presence of the rivers is decisive in this context. Restoring the inclination of the square and creating a surface gutters network both enhance and display the draining of the water running to the river. A gutter for running water reveals the alignment of the Church with the Castle and the presence of the river Baça, flowing underneath Eng. Duarte Pacheco Street. The gravel surrounding the Abbey evokes the ancient yard.
URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF ALCOBAÇA CONFLUENCE ZONE OF RIVERS ALCOA AND BAÇA ALCOBAÇA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Landscape design: Engineering: Photographer: General Contractor: 2003 2009 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne Alonso Frölich, Nuno Micael, Gabriela Raposo, Luís Cordeiro, Rui Vinagre Marta Byrne A2P Eng. João Appleton, Eng. Grade Ribeiro, Joule, Eng. José Galvão Teles José Manuel Rodrigues Câmara Municipal de Alcobaça Alcobaça Edifer / Costa & Carvalho The intention was to create a garden on the confluence zone of the two river s, Alcoa e Baça in Alcobaça. This garden, due to its sensitive character in the urban tissue and its proximity with the City s Library, should be affected to this infrastructure. This space is defined by the confluence of both rivers giving singular conditions for it to be a recreation area. The intervention concentrates in the following intentions: Treating the rivers margins, recovering the retaining walls and creating a new and continuous capping in stone, connecting the various elements of the project and reinforcing the use of the river. Planting a garden which will introduce a river s bush and trees vegetation, along with the correct pavement will create an exceptional ambience to this area. Recovering the Hydroelectric Central, conciliating a museum with a reading area of journals and magazines and a coffee shop of the City s Library, restoring the system of water channels for them to function again. Requalification of the accesses, creating a new path crossing the river Baça and recovering the old one crossing Alcoa, consolidating the existing pier and all the river accesses.
URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF S. MARTINHO DO PORTO MARGINAL AVENUE S. MARTINHO DO PORTO Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Landscape design: Engineering: Photographer: General Contractor: 2004 2009 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne José Ricardo Vaz, Gabriela Raposo, Luísa Saldanha, Nuno Micael, David Cachucho Marta Byrne A2P, Eng. Grade Ribeiro, Joule, Comput Gás Lda. José Manuel Rodrigues Câmara Municipal de Alcobaça S. Martinho do Porto, Alcobaça Oliveiras SA. S. Martinho do Porto s village was always related with the sea. Its bay was food source, shelter, communication bridge with the country and the exterior, shipyard and recreational area. The project of urban requalification attends to the relation of the bay with the village. The rapprochement to the water coast is intended, through the pedonalization of the perpendicular paths towards the beach, the simplification of the road traffic and reduction of lanes, lowering and sloping smoothly kerbstones, standing out the pedonal crossing zones. The character of a space for roaming and wandering is inherent to the Marginal Avenue. The widening of both sidewalks allows them: on the village side, to have a more adequate dimension to buildings that grown over the past years, and the possibility of esplanade areas; on the sea side, eases people movement and all the activities related to the beach. The linearity of paths parallel to the water line and the clearness of the look are always wanted. The use of the local stone, is due to the fact that, despite being a village turned to the sea, S. Martinho do Porto always related to the surrounding areas, mainly Alcobaça s Abbey.
URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF S. MARTINHO DO PORTO TOURISM CENTRE AND ELEVATOR S. MARTINHO DO PORTO Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Landscape design: Engineering: Photographer: General Contractor: 2004 2009 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne Ana Moniz, Gabriela Raposo, Isabel Monteiro, José Ricardo Vaz, Luís Cordeiro, Luísa Ramalho, Neuza Talhão, Sofia Saraiva Marta Byrne A2P, Eng. Grade Ribeiro, Joule, Eng. José Galvão Teles José Manuel Rodrigues Câmara Municipal de Alcobaça S. Martinho do Porto, Alcobaça Edifer / Costa & Carvalho There is a sense of completeness in the act of designing a singular building - the Tourism Information Centre and the Elevator, its surroundings the Urban Requalification of Comendador José Bento da Silva Square, and the town itself. Architecture acts as a symbiosis between the spatial, social, constructive, humanist, artistic and existential values. The intervention as a whole aims to overcome the barrier between the lowest level, the town, and the highest level, the historic centre. A belvedere over the bay sets a relationship among the sea level and the seaside resort, through the several layers down the hill. In the interior, a birch staircase and a glass book-shelf link the different levels of the building. At the ground floor there is a reception counter, above it the tourism post. From the roof plan level, there is a public stair that goes by the coffee-shop and the esplanade. The building communicates with the town through the relations it provides, dissipating the contrast between the public and the private dimension. The elevator provides easy access to the visitors but also to the common inhabitants.
BANCO DE PORTUGAL HEAD OFFICE REFURBISHMENT LISBOA Work Conclusion date: Engineering: Artist:ic intervention Photographer: General Contractor: Archaeology: Restoration: 2008 2012 Gonçalo Sousa Byrne Consulbarra, A2P, GR Estudos, Joule, José Galvão Teles Fernanda Fragateiro José Manuel Rodrigues Banco de Portugal Lisboa HCI Construções Arqueohoje CaCo3, Conservação do Património Artístico The project is inspired by the architectural and urban presence of the admirable Pombaline 'factory', which constitutes probably the most notable European example of the city's Enlightenment and arguably one of the highlights of our culture. As expected, and as a result of previous surveys, archeology has assumed a major role throughout the intervention. Of the various findings, those that stand out are the wall of D. Dinis, a national heritage, which will be integrated in the future museum tour route, the primitive head of the antealtar which adds value to the whole to which it belongs, the existence of a necropolis in the area of the old church, the Pombaline posts and their respective lattice work, and ceramic fragments covering a spectrum whose lower limit is the 1st century AD. The project sought a unified vision of the whole intervention, a desire for continuous and complementary nature, where the ancient and the contemporary, the original and the repair work, the restoration and the proposed intervention incorporate a new singularity that meets the needs of utility and beauty.
DETAILED PLAN OF PARQUE HOSPITALAR ORIENTAL CHELAS, LISBOA Collaborators: Landscape design: Engineering: Photographer: 2009 Maria Ana Castro Caldas, Miguel Salgado Braz, Andreia Laranjeira, Marta Bandeira, Rita Lisboa, Ana Sousa, Francisco Vilaça, Joana Couto, Vanessa Silva, Cátia Venda, Pilar Dominguez, Carmo Gonçalves ABAP Alçada Baptista Arq Paisagista NPK, Arq Paisagistas Associados Mercês Tomaz Gomes (audiovisual); Terramorfose (imagens 3D); Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, Solreis, SARL Freguesias de Alvalade, Alto do Pina, Beato, S. João de Brito e Marvila Main strategies for the urban regeneration of this city area: It is essential to emphasize the main role of the existing and regenerated parks. The strategy assumes the pertinence of reconversion, that pretends to integrate the consolidated urban structures, more than demolishing them. To fulfil empty spaces in a ruled and accurate way, approximate the neighbourhoods through the densification of their peripheries, create new mobility of lightweight character, take advantage of the new equipments to introduce the possibility of differentiated experiences, introduce multiple uses, are the ways of inducing urban regeneration present in this proposal for the detailed plan for Parque Hospitalar Oriental.
ASSISTED PEDESTRIAN PATH FROM BAIXA TO CASTELO DE S. JORGE LISBOA Work Conclusion date: Collaborators: Engineering: Photographer: General Contractor: 2009 2013 Filipa Mourão, Luísa Ramalho, Patrícia Cabaço, Cátia Venda, Francisco Vilaça, David Ferreira da Silva A2P, Campo d agua, Joule, José Galvão Teles, A. Teixeira Gás José Manuel Rodrigues Câmara Municipal de Lisboa Baixa Pombalina / Castelo de S. Jorge Lisboa Construtora UDRA Lda / Fitonovo SA The requalification of the urban space is a fundamental contribution for the revitalization of Lisbon s downtown. This urban requalification aims to meet the assumptions of the Master plan for Baixa Pombalina to consolidate the concept of big outdoor commercial space promoting management actions that create the necessary conditions for competitivity: cleanliness, security, illumination, promotion, logistisc, office hours among others. That is turning Rua da Vitória and Rua de Santa Justa into live arteries of commercial and restoration offer, reinforced by the accessibility from Baixa to Castelo. It replaces the existing pavement for stone slabs of Lioz limestone, with a honed finishing, giving a great comfort to the users, being the linking element of the whole intervention. In steeper slope streets the pavement is in cubes of granite creating more friction and avoiding accidents. The Public Lifts Building aims to be a key player in the reinforcement of the accessibility from downtown to the castle, facilitating the circulation and revitalizing the surroundings.

REFURBISHMENT OF THE RIBEIRO DA CUNHA PALACE PRINCIPE REAL LISBOA Collaborators: Civil Engineering: 2011 Appleton & Domingos Arquitectos Miguel Salgado Braz, Ana Sousa, António Pinelo, Cátia Venda, Carmo Carvalho, Francisco Vilaça, Marta Teixeira Gomes A2P Consult, Estudos e Projectos Lda. Universidade de Lisboa Rua da Escola Politécnica, Lisboa This 19th century palace, by the owner s initiative, D. José Ribeiro da Cunha, it is an important sample of New-Arabian romantic architecture in Portugal, serving as bourgeois housing until middle of 20 th century, when started hosting the Rectory Services of the New University of Lisbon. Symbol of economic power of its original owner, the building has many rich spaces, with exquisite and special ornamental detail that makes it unique. Here lies the added value for transforming this building a part of the Charm Hotel Unit of Príncipe Real. Given the patrimonial value of the building, the intervention s character is light for the existing building. The expansion is done by excavation, adding extra space for services and a whole new floor to connect with the intervention at North. It is intention to recover, restore, and clean the decoration elements, treat the carpentries, mosaics and paintings; from a structural point of view, when necessary, new reinforcing elements will be added and others replaced, always accessing them without compromising the decoration elements; All necessary infrastructures to respond to the program will be introduced in a surgical and light way.
REFURBISHMENT OF THE ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY ESCOLA POLITÉCNICA DE LISBOA LISBOA Collaborators: Civil Engineering: 2011 Appleton & Domingos Arquitectos Miguel Salgado Braz, Ana Sousa, António Pinelo, Cátia Venda, Carmo Carvalho, Francisco Vilaça, Marta Teixeira Gomes A2P Consult, Estudos e Projectos Lda. Universidade de Lisboa Rua da Escola Politécnica, Lisboa The genesis of the Observatory Buildings is simultaneous to the Botanic Garden of Lisbon (1873-1878). The proximity with the access from R. Escola Politécnica and its privilege placement as a reception and transition space from the higher to the lower level of the garden, gives it a strategic and decisive row on the revitalisation of the whole Botanical Garden, classified National Monument in 2010. The project tries to rigorously defend that the buildings patrimonial values of identity and memory stand on the basis of a contemporaneity that would give them new life capable of housing new uses, and nowadays needs. Was the project s intention to have a multidisciplinary wide and dynamic vision of the whole and the relations between the individual buildings, its complementarities and the system of views over the Botanical Garden and the role that both play in the valorisation of the city of Lisbon. The security of people and installations was the principle concern during the project s elaboration. With reasonability it s intention to optimize accessibilities, ensuring an intuitive, simple and equitable use of the spaces, with clear information. Also the passive solutions will be explored, as for the natural ventilation, tree s shading, simple and effective solutions that guarantee the energetic sustainability of the buildings.
