2014 2| EN |3 Contents Office Selected Projects Data and Biography 6| Design Services The office’s work relies on a continuous joint reflection of diverse technicians and authors, who assure in all the stages of each project, a wide, plural and coordinated vision. Architecture |7 Engineering Interiors Industrial Design Urban design and Planning Consulting Project Management Models Architecture The office’s work is founded on the conviction that architecture has a direct influence on the quality of our lives. Regardless of the dimension or scope of the project, in a house or in a regional plan, we search in every moment for the right answer to each of the questions we face, developing specific solutions to specific problems, based on a careful understanding of contexts and a creation of a broad and integrated vision. Engineering We work with engineering teams as a part of the design team, combining diverse fields of knowledge and experience to develop fully integrated and sustainable design solutions. We keep solid partnerships with key engineering firms, with whom we develop a permanently coordinated work, thanks to the applied project management technologies. Interiors We believe architecture should provide a unique experience of use, of each space or a sequence of them. The light, materials, color or the furniture are coordinated as part of a whole, converging to create a coherent image and that provides qualified experiences. Industrial Design Every single detail is important. We create whatever is needed to fulfill the particular necessities of each project. The pieces we created are today a collection of furniture freestanding from the context they were created for. Urban design and Planning We apply a holistic approach in the study of cities, from the physiology of the territories were they were founded, their history and transformations, exploring programs and measuring their impacts. The team rounds up a broad collection of data to inform its design process. Producing graphical synthesis that enable every intervenient to reflect on the city and its capacity of change. Photographical and written records have the objective of providing an archive and models allow to show the propositions e discuss them. Analyzing, synthesizing and systematizing the present city, we open up the way to reflect on the city and communities of the future. Consulting The first step of the design process is to help clients evaluate and identify their needs. From strategic planning or the elaboration of a program, to a detailed spatial analysis, our consultancy aims to develop the most efficient solutions, both financially and in quality. The process is extended to the post-occupation stage, to help the inhabitants to enjoy the full potential of their new building. This follow up allows us to reflect and evaluate the results of each project. Project Management We work to provide an integrated service, from design to construction, until the production is finish and its delivered to the costumer. In all the process we rely on technicians working closely to the design team, providing a permanent assessment, monitoring the project, its budget and therefore its viability throughout its execution. The final goal, is to produce a project that optimizes the budget and the proposed levels of quality. Models Models are in the center of the design process. They communicate the project to the client more efficiently than any other mean and allow the team to explore aspects of further complexity. We produce models in the office as a tool of invention. Drawing and sketching are ways of thinking and communicating, we use them to explore spaces and the relation between them. They are produced alongside the first sketches of an idea until the end of the project. In the end they serve to create images for presentations, exhibitions, publications and press or short-films. They contribute to the comprehension of the project from its early moments until its conclusion. 24 | Selected Projects Urban Design and Planning Urban study for the Colina de Santana, Lisbon Urban study for the Capuchos Hospital, Lisbon Cultural and Institutional Mosque in Mouraria, Lisbon Museum and Residences of the Ordem São João de Deus, Sintra Public Library and Archive of Angra do Heroísmo, Azores Education Joaquim Carvalho High School, Figueira da Foz Francisco Rodrigues Lobo High School, Leiria Avelar Brotero High School, Coimbra Art and Architecture Faculty, Évora Housing Row-Houses, Bom Sucesso Design Resort, Óbidos “Rainha D.

The hospital, now set to be deactivated, has been set to accommodate housing, public equipments and public spaces, preserving the existing heritage, on a site with a central and topographically exceptional position in the city. unity The convent’s surround has been maintained with few modifications until today. One of the main questions of the functional conversion was to sort out the way to circulate within it and how to connect it to the surrounding city. platforms The steep slop of the site originated an occupation based on platforms, born around the convents building. The proposal takes advantage of the same system to put in place the new buildings, preserving the central position of the convent. The succession of platforms also allows a sequential discovery the privileged views over the valley of Avenida da Liberdade and the hill of São Roque. peninsula To sort out the relation of the convents grounds with the city, given its difficult topography, two systems of circulation are envisioned: a motorized, in a closed circuit, still as a peninsula; a pedonal, that cross the plot, turning it a connection to and between the surround city. 32 | Team Inês Lobo with João Rosário, João Vaz, Júlia Varela, Rodrigo Lino Gaspar Cláudio Gonçalves, Job Morais e Sónia Ribeiro Photography: Duarte Belo Location link https://goo.gl/maps/wrOID heritage heritage was looked at in a broad sense: taking the convent’s surround as part of the city’s urban history, with a fundamental part in its construction, due to be preserved; looking at the other two key heritage values, the convent and the Mello palace, as essential parts of the future integration in the city. equipments The listed buildings are privileged places to locate public equipments, by their nature of public interest sites and their architectonical value and, on the other hand, as keys features in the generation of fluxes of people besides the future inhabitants. private space The new built volumes sit over the topographical logic of the site, over the matrix of the platforms, public walkways and programs, along the limits of the platforms, underlining their contour. public space The design of the public space, even if here appears as a result, is in reality the foundation of the global design. Recovering the a qualified design to the public space within the hospital surround was understood as a key feature of the quality of living of the future inhabitants and the city. In such as the rehabilitation of the promenade, the garden or the tree cover of streets. | 33 34 | Mosque in Mouraria Lisbon, PT 2013-in project Description The nature of the program, dedicated to a religious community, and the site, situated in a long and narrow block between a busy modern avenue and a very old street, inspired the creation of a complex based on the creation of public space. A space that could both serve symbolically as place of gathering and worship and its expression within the city. A creation of a void within the dense urban fabric, consists of a two level open space, linked by a ramp, connecting both streets. On one side a covered square, facing the avenue; on the other a garden facing the old medieval path. Alongside the garden, seats the mosque. On one side, the spaces of worship; on the other, the social action spaces. On the upper level, along the avenue, a multifunctional hall creates a small square and a facade. 36 | Team Inês Lobo with João Rosário, João Vaz, Júlia Varela, Vasco Lopes. e Sónia Ribeiro Structures: ADF Engenheiros Consultores; Pedro Morujão Hydraulic Installations: Fernanda Valente Electrical Installations,Telecommunication and Security: GPIC Projectos Consultoria e Instalações; Fernando Aires, Alexandre Martins Heating, Ventilation, Building Physics, Thermic and Acoustics: NaturalWorks; Guilherme Carrilho da Graça Project Revision: Rui Prata Ribeiro Lda; Rui Prata Ribeiro, Paula Balseiro Photographer: Leonardo Finotti Location link https://goo.gl/maps/FxFVA | 37 38 | Ordem São João de Deus Museum and Residences Refurbishment Sintra, PT 2003-2009 Description 1937 . 1950 The Ricardo Pampuri building, which is part of the Casa de Saúde do Telhal, in Sintra, is made up of three distinct construction phases, the first being the north wing, followed by the construction of the church on the east wing.

The palazzo and its gardens are striking elements of the city, given their singularity, position and dimension within it’s tight urban fabric. terrace The cover stands above a concrete body wrapped around a terrace. The outside perimeter is painted white as the walls of the near surroundings and volume opens to the terrace, providing a visual relationship between all the inclosed and open spaces, public or reserved. Given the size of the programme the project tried to respond with a building that would generate, consolidate and articulate public spaces and pathways in the urban structure. So, it isn't the programme and a quest for a given form for the building but the form of open spaces it generates that actually commanded its design. emplacement All the above sit on top a continuous floor, of deposits and treatment of documents, draw alongside the plot’s limits, with a service entrance to this part of the building. furniture Since the spatial design of the building relies on visual and physical continuity, furniture gains visibility and an important Two corps, two voids role in the functional definition of spaces.

Subsequent reforms brought change to the school´s designation, but not to is academic vocation, which, to this day, in parallel to its regular syllabus, maintains a technological and workshop teaching feature. This academic programme is naturally reflected in the building the School currently occupies, as it has since 1950s. It is a building complex essentially made up of three blocks, sets of spaces structured together around a central open space. A first block accupies the length of the Rua General Humberto Delgado (bloco A), were the classrooms, laboratories, administrative areas and library are the found. Linked to this block, a central block (Body C) houses the gymnasium and the changing rooms, as well as the canteen and bar, and a small group of classrooms, in two separate arms of the main body. A final large Block is made up of the workshop areas (Body B), wich complete the building complex.

First are the large coverings that protected the railway platform and other loading and unloading areas, which could hardly contrast more in their delicate lightness with the enormous mass of the constructions. Now re-introduced, it shelters teachers and students instead of products and raw materials, constructing the meeting place of the school ensemble, it outlines the main patio establishing a visual relationship between all the spaces of the ensemble, whose central open space is an unexpected green field which is reminiscent of university campuses, until then so distant from this context. This body connects the different elements at the same time as it constructs the School space, a large and elongated atrium, a kind of backbone that allows bodies that were previously isolated to function once more, becoming part of a single structure. | 67 68 | | 69 Row-Houses , Bom Sucesso Design Resort Óbidos, PT 2007-2010 Description This project involves the building of a block of 18 premises for habitation purposes next to the Óbidos Lake in the future site of the Golf and Country Club – Bom Sucesso. These will be located in one of the far sides of the Quinta with a valley to the east, one of the access roads to the west, a thicket to the south and a group of dwellings to the north. Our proposal is to build on this site, the central theme being that each premise should have an interactive relationship with the surrounding area, under the following conditions: A privileged view of the valley, with the premises overlooking the valley, yet imposing within the landscape. Take into account the position of the premises in relation to the access road so as to guarantee privacy and give them a measure of “invisibility”. Set the northern and southern boundaries of the block in such a way that its location in relation to the access road on the south and the dwellings to the north is borne in mind. Design the interior of the premises in such a way that it allows outside extensions. Outer walls to be built to ensure there is both an intimate relationship with the surrounding area and a high degree of privacy. 72 | Team Inês Lobo with João Rosário, Rita Zina, Pedro Oliveira, Pedro Carta, Julia Varela, Emanuel Romão, João Vaz, Sérgio Pereira e Sónia Ribeiro Structures and Installations: A400 Projectistas e consultores de engenharia Construction Company: Policon, Construções SA Photographer: Leonardo Finotti Awards Nomination to Archdaily Building of the Year 2014 Location link http://goo.gl/maps/uXlAH | 73 “Rainha D. Leonor” Social Housing Quarter Refurbishment Oporto, PT 2005-2013 Description Built in the 50’s above the Douro’s mouth, the Bairro Rainha D. Leonor, went thru an unruled process of appropriation and transformation of its buildings and yards. An inevitable and understandable process, considering the small size of the original houses and their compartments, unable to respond to needs and ways of life of their inhabitants. As a result, the neighborhood’s urban image was degraded and became discontinuous. Even so, on a closer look, the neighborhood reveled a strong hidden identity and a great capacity of regenerate and answer the program established by the Municipality, with the purpose of improving the quality and habitability of the houses, yards, common spaces and conformity with present regulations. The intervention’s global strategy aimed to return homogeneity to the buildings and exterior spaces of the estate. Therefor, after removing the additions, inside the plots and public spaces, the project searched to reapply the rules and materials of the original construction, in two complementary lines of work: the houses and the open spaces. The interventions on the buildings tried to minimize the impact on the existent, preserving the volumes and not introducing significant changes on their image, despite of the profound typological changes of their interior. The accesses and the majority of the components, such as doors and windows, were recovered or substituted by similar pieces, when necessary. In the open spaces, public or private, the same principle of continuity was applied, the added constructions were demolished and the existing granite was recovered to build pavings, walls and exterior stairs. Simultaneously, green spaces were introduced as a continuous network, crossing both private and public spaces. 76 | Team Inês Lobo with João Rosário, Rita Zina, Pedro Oliveira, Pedro Carta, Gilberto Reis, Julia Varela, Emanuel Romão, João Vaz, Rafael Marques, Sérgio Silva, Sérgio Pereira e Sónia Ribeiro Structures and Installations: AFA Engenheiros Consultores Photographer: Leonardo Finotti Location link http://goo.gl/maps/uXlAH | 77 House in Alentejo Grãndola, PT 2003-2009 Description Located in an isolated place, were nature and the landscape are overwhelming, the project was feed by the idea that the house and its multiple spaces should return us to the atmosphere and qualities of the site.

The house was placed on the West limit of the property were one a dense forest of pine trees can be seen within the sea as background. The house is reached thru a plateau, at mid-height of the house and swimming pool. The house’s the terrace as dominant position over the buildings and landscape. The building is entangled with the ground, whether standing on it or excavating it, creating patios that organize the interior spaces. The built assembly - house and surroundings - lives the double condition of observation site and shelter, anchored to the site and its domestic character by its scale and materials. The house allows what its absence already did: the attention on the horizon or the numbness under de local light, smells and sounds. 80 | Team Inês Lobo, Pedro Oliveira with João Rosário, Gilberto Reis, Pedro Carta, Rita Zina, Emanuel Romão Structures: AFA Engenheiros Consultores; Pedro Morujão Hydraulic Installations:: AFA Engenheiros Consultores, Paulo Silva Electrical Installations,Telecommunication:: GPIC Projectos Consultoria e Instalações; Fernando Aires, Heating, Ventilation, Building Physics, Thermic and Acoustics: NaturalWorks; Guilherme Carrilho da Graça Landscape Architecture: NPK; Leonor Cheis Photographer:: Leonardo Finotti Location link https://goo.gl/maps/JGzbH | 81 House in Magoito São João das Lampas, Sintra, PT 2003-2009 Description Located in Sintra’s Natural Park, the house aims to recognize and respond to limits of the plot and the surrounding territory.

The renewal of the buildings tried to fit the operation of the company as an appropriation of an industrial space. The project’s approach was based on four ideas and actions: program The use of the space in extension. Transforming one of the buildings on a long working open-space. Enclosed, on one side by individual workrooms on a upper level; open to a yard, on the other, as result of the suppression of part of the adjacent building’s roof. scale: Preserve the interior reading of the exterior limits of the buildings, the scale of the industrial halls and their materials: the brick walls and columns and the wood trusses. For that, we used a continuous concrete floor and covered the roof with silver faced acustic and termal isolation. installations The upper level of the individual workrooms encloses all the required installations: air-conditioning, power and IT network. Feeding each room and worktables. city The closed nature of the buildings, around its yard, relates to the surroundings only thru its East facade, were the steel framing of windows of the workrooms try to relate its interior to the distant exterior, away from the unpleasant close surroundings. 92 | Team Inês Lobo with João Rosário, João Vaz, Pedro Oliveira, Gilberto Reis, Júlia Varela, Sérgio Pereira e Sónia Ribeiro Structures ADF Engenheiros Consultores; Pedro Morujão Hydraulic Installations: BETAR Engenheiros Consultores; Marta Azevedo Electrical Installations,Telecommunication and Security: Ruben Sobral Heating, Ventilation, Building Physics, Thermic and Acoustics: NaturalWorks; Guilherme Carrilho da Graça Landscape Architecture: Global Arquitectura Paisagista Lda, João Gomes da Silva Construction Company: Alcoplano .

The project consisted on the rehabilitation of the existing building and a new pavilion, to be built within the garden, regarding the creation of new working spaces and showrooms. annex and garden The search of balance between the void and filled spaces, recovering outdoor spaces and giving them clarity guided the project. The demolition of adored constructions and annexes inside the plot allowed the creation a central void that determined the position of the new building alongside the south limit wall. Drawn as a garden pavilion, the two storey building opens up to the garden thru its glazed facade and its following plan of The original house and gardens, from the 1920’s, were sunshade screens. profoundly altered in 1945-6. The project aimed to recover the clarity of the design of existing buildings and find a volumetric balance between them and the garden. house The analysis of the existing house and its various phases of construction revealed its dissonant elements as becoming from the 1940´s intervention. The project tried, as much as possible, to recover the original design of the building, removing the superimposed elements or finding a clear design when ever the present house or programme went beyond its original image. In contrast with the global quietness of interventions on the house, the eastern facade was opened to the garden using glass, in which stands out the showroom in the ground floor. In the interiors, the main spaces of the composition were redesigned, like the main stairs. The constructive solutions and materials were used as a bridge between the original construction and the new one. 96 | Team João Luís Carrilho da Graça e Inês Lobo with Pedro Oliveira, Júlia Varela, João Rosário, Gilberto Reis, João Vaz, Rafael Marques Structures ADF Engenheiros Consultores; Pedro Morujão Hydraulic Installations: BETAR Engenheiros Consultores; Marta Azevedo Electrical Installations,Telecommunication and Security: GPIC Projectos Consultoria e Instalações; Fernando Aires.

The smallest unit model witch repeats is a metal construction laid on the basalt walls. The spaces between rooms are covered with coloured sackcloth to protect us from the heat. The color is inside the model. When you’re inside the classroom it should be more comfortable - the surfaces are now smooth, the ceilings coloured. The landscape is monochromatic, but the people use color in amazing ways. When you see someone walk by it’s a magic moment. I have a really beautiful photo of a child dressed in pink, which i put in the notebook. Colour says “people live here”. There are many luminous greens and strong blues two colours that refer to the colour territory lacks. The facades are all painted in Achada Fazenda’s main streets. The people never paint the entire house, only the facades or a varanda. In Venice, the facades giving on to Grand Canal are in stonework but the sides are plastered. In Cape Verde it’s pretty mutch the same thing, it defines an aspect of the elevation. 102 | Team Inês Lobo with João Rosário, Gilberto Reis, João Vaz, Júlia Varela, Rafael Marques, Job Morais e Sónia Ribeiro Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: Guilherme Carrilho da Graça Landscape Architecture: João Gomes da Silva Photography: Luisa Ferreira Acknowledgments: Cape Verde Ministry of Education, Portuguese Embassy in Cape Verde, Municipality of Santa Cruz Location link https://goo.gl/maps/ZLvMb | 103 Lisbon Ground The Portuguese Representation at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Veneza Veneza, IT 2012 Description The Portuguese Directorate-General for the Arts (DGArtes) presents Lisbon Ground, the exhibition that will represent Portugal at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
