Students Residence

Porto, Portugal, 2003


Two parallel different size buildings relate in different manners with the site - the students residence and the café/galleria. The first defines the street on the east having its entrance on north, the latter, perpendicular to the avenue, turns to the square at a higher level and it is accessed through south.
The random and expressive distribution of the windows is in relation with the interior considering the amount of natural light and the geometry of the stone that covers the whole building.
