Within the Quinta da Ponte in the Portuguese town of Sintra, a few kilometers from Lisbon, is this two-story construction that is part of a row of buildings arranged along the perimeter wall of the property. The ground floor contained a shop, and the upper one an apartment. To maintain the row’s uniformity, the intervention keeps the original volume as is, but the main facade, facing a narrow street, is reformulated as the rear. Downstairs now are the bedrooms and baths, and a staircase leads up to the kitchen.
