项目的设计目标是对位于Rua Miguel Bombarda街道上的一栋住宅建筑进行改造和扩建。这里是波尔图最具标志性的道路，沿街设有数座画廊。原有建筑已然显现出破败的迹象，不再适合使用。深长的基地让设计师可以建造一座花园以及另一栋独立楼房。

The aim of the project was to rebuild and expand a residential building on one of the most emblematic streets in Porto, Rua Miguel Bombarda, where several art galleries are located. The existing building, already showing some signs of degradation, was of little relevance. The depth of the lot allowed the design of a garden and also of another autonomous building.

除了主要立面和单独的跨度，项目没有使用任何现有结构。美丽的花岗岩阳台得到保留，首层设置坚实的砖块，代表了建筑立面的主要特征。

The project made very little use of the existing structure, except for the main facade wall and the respective spans, the metrics of which were preserved. The beautiful granite balcony has also been maintained and, together with the solid brick that was placed on the ground floor, represent the main features of the facade.
