Built-in two stages, (1974-1977 and 2005-2006), it was originally designed by Siza with the direct participation of the future residents in the aftermath of the political revolution that generated the regime transition from dictatorship to democracy, and it is now a vibrant neighbourhood and home for a diverse array of people. The result is an ingenious and innovative housing model that offers direct private access from the street and a spacious internal layout. This fully equipped cosy duplex can be your home in Porto.
