Description
3 Bedroom Duplex Apartment with Balcony in Porto
For the sake of architectural and urban coherence, it was also decided to use wooden frames (lacquered and with a casement or oscillo-stop) on the main facade (except recessed). This option provides the best thermal and acoustic performance while ensuring the aesthetic and architectural coherence that was sought in this project.
The main facade, facing west, is characterised by the ceramic tile covering of high relief, with a traditional pattern and painted by hand, by the jambs covered with pieces of yellow granite, and by the cast-iron balcony guards.
The nobility of the chosen finishes is evident in both the common and private areas. An example of this is the choice of wainscoting, in the entrance hall of the building and stairwell, and of tall and worked baseboards on the access levels to the fractions.
Inside the apartments, the floor is multi-layered oak glued in the shape of a herringbone.
On the rear and recessed facade, we opted for the use of quartz-type pre-patinated zinc coating, and lacquered aluminium frames with thermal cut and swing or tilt-stop operation. Here, too, the solutions that guarantee the best thermal and acoustic performance were chosen.
