Description
Political wishes and the attentive and transformative design of architect Guilherme Machado Vaz reopened the Real Vinícola block in 2017. The building was built at the end of the 19th century, and was one of the first to be strategically installed in the industrial mesh of the south of Matosinhos occupying almost the entirety of one of its blocks. The construction was in a state of high degradation, with parts in ruins, but even so one could understand that is was the result of a careful original solution. The rehabilitation project crossed the premises of the new programs with the singular values identified on the site – the double-patio, the structures of storage, the constructive methods… And it made possible a new inner life, anchored in Casa da Arquitectura, the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra and the other commercial and multifunctional spaces.
