About the project

The work comprises the rehabilitation and extension of a building originally constructed as a school, designed by architect Ernesto Korrodi in Caldas da Rainha, converting it into a single-family residence.

The design focuses on a morphological reworking of the central staircase of the existing building, endowing this key element with the spatial intensity required to engage in dialogue with the other Art Nouveau–inspired components of the main façade and the interior structure.

The spatial structure of the building is preserved, preventing any alteration to the original configuration of spaces, which are strongly defined by decorative stereotomies, namely coffered walls and ceilings.
