Ricardo Azevedo Renovates Derelict House in Santo Tirso, Portugal

Ricardo Azevedo, a Portuguese architect, has successfully renovated Parque IV House, a 375-square-meter dwelling located in Santo Tirso, Portugal. Completed in 2022, this project was overseen by Azevedo from Ricardo Azevedo Arquitecto, with engineering contributions from Fénix Engenharia Civil and interior design by AAR Déco. Ivo Tavares Studio provided the photography for the project. Previously, the building suffered from neglect, being partially occupied and losing structural soundness. The architects aimed to restore its integrity and safety. Curated by Susanna Moreira, the project falls under the 'Houses' category. The original architects described it as having 'long stood suspended in time and space.' ArchDaily features this renovation in both Portuguese and English, highlighting its focus on adaptive reuse and architectural preservation.
