A project made valuable by the history it carries, its position above the Douro, and finishes of real quality — an elegant design in noble materials, set into its surroundings as simply as possible. From the practical studio to the spacious two-bedroom duplex, ranging from 40 m² to 90 m², every apartment has a private balcony and everything a comfortable home in the historic centre asks for.
The building's contemporary façade softens the boundary between architecture and its historical surroundings. Two distinct blocks are composed at a human, neighbourhood scale around a generous inner garden. That open courtyard is the breathing space between the volumes, bringing light and greenery into the ensemble and a sense of community with them.
Balconies are planned as a relaxed transition between the private and the open, so the outside is somewhere you arrive at rather than step out to. High-quality materials, careful design and flexible configuration let residents shape their homes to their own needs — studio layouts with a clearly defined sleeping space, one- and two-bedroom apartments with functional distribution, good light and energy efficiency.
The building stands a few steps from the Gaia pier and the D. Luís I bridge, where the two riversides meet. A couple of minutes away is the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, one of the most remarkable buildings of classical European architecture, and beside it Jardim do Morro — the daily stop where Gaia gathers for the view over Porto.
