Condominhas is an old electric engine-component factory transformed into an art gallery and design studio. In the center of the complex, a large garden was created, around which the two dimensions of the project are organized: the public and work area on one side, and a residency on the other.

  The roof’s configuration is preserved, with its structure hanging over the central garden. The main areas on each side are enhanced by taking advantage of the double height and the natural light coming in through the roof—namely the gallery, the studio, and the common areas of the residency. 

The project focuses on preserving the industrial ambiance, combined with warm-looking materials such as wood and brick, adding a comfortable feel to the interiors.
