Based on the concepts of Portuguese Romanesque architecture, this building aims to be a transitional element between the present and the distant Romanesque past. The idea of the rural street explores the connection between these volumes, as a unifying element and generator of life experiences. Thus, all volumes arise interconnected by a central body, which precedes the entry into each one as a cloister. Each of the volumes, internally, re-interprets the monumentality of the Romanesque buildings, not only for its scale but also for their forms.
