A historical analysis of the building complex reveals that we are dealing with a building of historical interest to the city of Lisbon, and specifically to the fabric of the Bairro Alto district. Thus, the goal of the proposed project was to restore, as far as possible, the “soul” of the building, preserving the memory of the city. The new building and its vertical access block, both built from scratch within the outer shell, have a contemporary feel, characterized by large glazed windows overlooking the interior of the plot.
