Design Concept
Canto de Luz in the centre of Porto has been reconfigured and its capacity extended as part of a comprehensive refurbishment and relaunch as an urban retreat.
The basement below the courtyard was opened up to create a sunken private patio, which is now the heart of a new suite of rooms forming a self-contained apartment.
Design Solution
A former house at the rear of the site has been extended to become a private villa with its own garden and pool, a tranquil oasis in the centre of the bustling city.
Our involvement started at concept stage with the task of finding and unlocking hidden potential in the vacant basement below the courtyard and the former owners’ apartment; the project was delivered by a local team of architects and engineers.
