Student accommodation. Galleria Solar, Vila do Conde, Portugal. Architect: Manuel Maia Gomes, 2010.
The project concerns the construction of a passage through two buildings leading to a square which lies eight meter below, leveled by one elevator, inside the staircase. The passage works like an exhibition space, for paintings, sculptures and video arts. Conducts directly to the “Galleria Solar”, gallery which is specialized in cinematic art video and shortcut films. There is also a city bookshop. The original building was constructed in the 16. century, with transformation in the 18. century. The refurbishment is done after the building was totally ruined. On the first floor and in the attic, the space is converted into a student residence with bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces. The building communicates with the city through windows placed specifically to frame the special views of the monuments of the sixteenth century.
