T1+2 Duplex w/ 2 suites and balcony with 29.8 m2 It is at number 284 of Rua da Alegria, in Bonfim, that a new building will appear, of absolutely modern ~ construction, but which makes use of a typical faade of Porto architecture from the beginning of the twentieth century. For the sake of architectural and urban coherence~, it was decided to use~ wooden frames (lacquered and with a hinged or oscillo-stop operation) on the main faade (except recessed).This opc~o provides the best thermal and acoustic performance while ensuring the unique aesthetic and architectural coherence ^ that was sought in this project. The main faade, facing west, is characterized by the ceramic tile covering^ of high relief, with a traditional pattern~o and hand~ painted, by the jambs covered with pieces of yellow granite, and by the railings of the balconies in cast iron. 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 tall and worked baseboards on the access levels to fractions~es. Inside the apartments the floor is multi-layered oak glued in the shape of herringbone, air conditioning, water heated by solar panels and SMEG appliances. On the rear and recessed faade, we opted for the use of quartz-type pre-patinated zinc coating, and lacquered aluminum frames with thermal cut and swing or tilt-stop operation. Here, too, the solutions that guarantee the best thermal and acoustic performance were chosen. In the vicinity you will also find a gym, bars, restaurants, shops of all kinds of utilities, public car parks, traditional markets and grocery stores, shopping centres and schools.
