FARO . 2016 - 2021
The project started as the renovation of a block of apartments located in the city center into a hotel. The existing building was far from charming and it had been long vacant, but it echoed clear Modernist spirit.
PAr combined the modernist memories embedded in the building with new virtues: the ancestral architecture, the local construction systems and materials, the southern genius loci.
The exterior living was enhanced: every unit is double exposed and it received a lightfull balcony; a green fresh patio and an accessible roof top facing the sea were created. The warmness is brought by natural materials: portuguese colorful stone, solid wood windows or heavy tradicional fabrics. All the furniture and lightning were designed by PAr with handcrafting materials as brass or chosen from local manufacturers.
In result, the project intensifies the building original identity, combined with vernacular and contemporary knowledge, to improve the aesthetics everyday life of its inhabitants.
