Located in Torres Vedras Lisbon_Arquitecture Project_Ricardo Serra
The proposal involves the renovation and extension of an old abandoned building with unique characteristics, particularly its architectural design and very limited size.
The proposed layout is organized as follows:
The entrance hall includes a small covered outdoor area that serves as the arrival space and accommodates the utility meters. Upon entering the house, the first interior space is the social area, comprising an open-plan living room and kitchenette. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hob, sink, refrigerator, and a chimney with a smoke extraction system. The living area provides sufficient space for a sofa and a dining table for two people. A window on the main façade ensures natural lighting and ventilation.
A mezzanine storage area is provided within the attic space and is accessed via a folding retractable staircase. Both the living room and the mezzanine benefit from two roof windows that provide natural light and ventilation.
The private area of the dwelling is located beyond the social space and is accessed through a corridor leading to the bedroom and bathroom. The corridor incorporates a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom is fully equipped and exceeds the minimum recommended area requirements.
