House in Toxofal / Manuel Tojal Architects
Briefly

This architectural project in Toxofal involved the careful rehabilitation of a 19th-century house that had been vacant for over three decades. The design preserves the building's original essence while updating it for modern living. Restoration efforts included maintaining the original façades and walls, contrasting them with new timber cladding. The layout was reimagined, transforming spaces like the attic into a suite and opening previously closed areas to create connections to the outdoors. Enhancements included larger openings for natural light and a new garden integration, all while respecting the historical context of the house.
