SERRAÇÃO

The peculiarity of this proposal is essentially related to its location – a subdivided interior block in the consolidated urban mesh – and with the transformation of its use into a single-family dwelling with unique characteristics. Its unique character, not by external form and appearence, but by its “inner soul”, is the result of the era when it was built and the function it performed, a sawing. Inside it had singular architectural features that were interesting to preserve and that valued the new functionality: home. The “spirit” of the building remains through the indoor courtyards and terraces, along withthe plasticity of existing and proposed finishings materials, witch makes the living space distinctive.
