The Museu do Carro Eléctrico do Porto (Tram Museum of Porto) is deeply connected to the city's history, to its industrialization and riverside urbanization, but also to its urban space democratization, through the popularization of the public transport. The building that it is based in has a curious 18th century industrial typology, refering to the 18th century passageways that were scattered throughout Paris, connecting the city. Inspired by this image, there is an effort to reinforce the impact and public use of the Tram Musem, opening up to the city's urban space, namely the riverside area.The proposal seizes the urban potential of the exterior space and the scale of the great hangars, removing all the unnecessary surrounding constructions. By dignifying the urban quality of the building complex, the visitor of the museum becomes also a city wanderer who gets the possibility to walk throught this renewed block, enjoying a succession of recreational areas and services.

PHOTOGRAPHY

In 2008, Pedra Líquida was commissioned to create a new Hotel design concept – Casa do Conto, arts&residence - giving life to a beautiful 19th Century Oporto House, through a chirurgical restoration process. Unfortunately, on March 2009, few days before the hotel opening, the building suffered a terrible fire. As architects and concept creators we decided that we had to rebuild it, better than before. In fact, recreating its remaining structure was an opportunity to make this new hotel, and the memory of that special house, reborn from the ashes, like the Phoenix.In this sense, the new project evokes, through an abstract approach, the old house adornment and its wall textures by using traditional surfaces – crossed wood patterns, corrugated steel plates and curved plywood panels – as a “mould” for the new concrete walls: at the central staircase; at the back facade; at the cubic bathrooms inside every suite; at the oval-shaped central skylight, a typical Oporto typology. As a result we get a kind of “fossilized architecture” where those modern “skins” rephrase the pre-existing ones.

The wool factory in Manteigas inspires the concept, architecture, visual merchandise, and services of the Burel Store in Lisbon. The Burel Store brings its factory to the centre of Lisbon, adding value to the Burel fabric as well as to the space itself. The store will surprise the visitor in terms offering quality materials and products, as well as a glimpse of their culture and history. The Burel Store provides information on the origin of its products, the designers, and the production processes. The space stimulates the interaction and participation of its customers by inviting them to develop their imagination and create their own pieces when visiting the store.
