Our project focused on the restoration of the Heróis de África house, a lot within the old and classified district of Leça da Palmeira, a seaside town close to Porto, in Portugal. Built in the 1930s, its sober architectural language reflects the constructive and stylistic options of the time as visible in the rectilinear design of the cornice and the stone masonry elements flanking the cast iron gate also incorporating a depurated decorative geometry. Having always served as a residence, the house has stone walls finished with traditional mortar and painting, painted wood framing, wooden slabs, pine flooring, and ceramic tiles in the roof. It endured some minor transformations and extensions along its way mainly visible at the old rear façade.
