In an previous, industrial space of Lisbon, Portugal, architect José Andrade Rocha (of Atelier José Andrade Rocha) has reimagined a modest townhouse, reworking it right into a minimalist residence that’s as thought-about as it’s unpretentious.
From the road, the house blends in with its neighbors: Aside from a paint refresh, the facade stays largely untouched. From the again, although, Rocha’s interventions are clear due to a brand new modernist rear extension that includes a wall of floor-to-ceiling home windows and a sliding glass door that results in a courtyard. Designed through the COVID-19 pandemic and completed final 12 months, the house “displays a need to boost gatherings,” he writes.
Let’s take a tour, lets?
