Firmeza apartment, Portugal | Pablo Pita architects

Pablo Pita architects renovated an apartment in Porto, creating a new minimalist space, an exercise in clarity and lightness.

Firmeza is the refurbishment of a downtown apartment in Porto. Its previous display was fragmented and confusing, lacking coherence and hierarchy.

The intervention sets a clear night/day layout - on one side the bedrooms, on the other a group of contiguous living areas. In the middle, a curved curtain wall characterizes the space, defining it with a scenic and ludic gesture. At the end of this axis, a mirror plays with the spatial perception.

It is an exercise in clarity and lightness.
