Description
Framing:
The project was born from the synergies found between the potential of an extremely well-located land, in a new expansion area of the city of Porto and with exceptional conditions for family housing. Living together in full harmony elevates both enterprises, adding value to them. The architectural projects were both developed by fcc arquitetura, which has already seen several of its projects recognised and awarded. It is a unique project, in a gated community. The space was designed for those who appreciate the peace and quality of life of the 'rural spaces', but do not want to give up the privileges that the cities offer them.
Characterization of the terrain:
Located on Rua de Requesende, the land occupies almost a block. In one of the new expansion areas of the City of Porto, very central and with excellent access, it is located between the two main circulation routes of the city, the Circunvalacao and the VCI. Despite its centrality, the surroundings are quiet, with pleasant spaces to rest and stroll, either on its bike path or along the Ribeira da Granja, the largest open-air watercourse in the city of Porto and which was recently rehabilitated.
