Article source: Pedro Ferreira Architecture Studio The Alves da Veiga project aimed to reconvert an old typography, built in the nineteenth century and abandoned for decades, in a set of six apartments, maintaining all the structure and spatial concept of preexistence. The original building, though appearing from the outside only two storeys, in fact contained a curious floor + mezzanine organization that actually embodied four habitable floors.

A simple and strict organization where the spaces are strongly illuminated and marked by the double height of the right feet.

The staircase, organizer element of the set, is punctuated by a skylight that rescues the light into the building.
