Text description provided by architect.

The Santa Clara project envisioned the renovation of a building in Lisbon.

A building with undefined history, with different construction periods and transformations, as it is common in historically rich areas.

The goal was to construct a building that reflects the living experience of the city.

A search, not done by the reproduction of traditional elements, but by a recombination of elements, materials, atmospheres and proportions, to bring back this idea of living.

A plain architecture, that combines few elements, while striving for quality in the use of real materials. An idea of authenticity and, therefore, an idea of timelessness.
