Located on Lisbon's riverside, the new office for Vieira de Almeida's law firm is the result of an old warehouse rehabilitation from the 19th century. The proposal premise was to preserve the memory and character of the complex while adapting it to its new use. Organized in three floors, the large vertical and horizontal voids and circulation spaces allow visual communication, creating spatial relations. This project sought to preserve, unify and emphasize the different architectural languages present, from the 19th-century industrial architecture to the Neoclassic and Art Noveau facades.
