Raul Alves Apartment Building that located in Torres Vedras, Portugal, designed by Lema Barros + Castelo Branco arquitectos includes a double walled footprint generating private patios and mezzanines bathed with natural light; removable doors out to common areas are treated as an extension of the apartments’ living space.

Comprising 17 apartments, ranging between 1 and 4 bedroom, a multi-use common room, restaurant and garage, the project adjoins to traditional buildings either side using colour as a continuous factor.

The project was developed with an emphasis on functionality, clarity, rigor and quality. Materials used offer a continuous harmony in all the divisions of the apartment – foot panels inlaid in the walls; restored interior façade covered in marble; removable panels in the exterior of the new façade; Kitchens and bathrooms with glazed walls; autoleveling floor; and ceilings with exposed concrete.
