The architectural Project – which comes a hundred years after the Real Vinícola was built, between 1897 and 1901 – is grounded on the existing ruins and their rehabilitation, through an investigation on the historical context of the industrial buildings.
As part of the rehabilitation project of the buildings of the Real Vinícola complex, which includes Casa da Arquitectura, is also the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra. This institution, without its own facilities until now, promotes the creation, research, dissemination and training in jazz, playing the role of a National Jazz Orchestra.
The project for remodeling the store SmokeSignals in Matosinhos seeks to create boundaries within the existing space in order to suggest atmospheres in the use of the furniture and utensils.
