Perfectly framed in the natural and historical surrounding of the place, oriented to the south, the residential set MONCHIQUE rises imposing on the bank of the river Douro. Situated in Massarelos, in an area classified as Historic Port Area, the dwellings suggest a unique lifestyle. Fusing in the urban network dominated by the river, this architectonic work of recognized patrimonial value stands out in a complex of three communicating buildings, nourished by the permanent dialogue between past and future, luxurious interiors and unique landscape. Exploring the layout of the terrain, the buildings are developed due to greater transparency in the directions that accompany the movement of the sun, generating wide spans and exterior areas facing the Douro River. Inside the dwellings, comfort results from the unusual dimensions of the spaces and the performance provided by the thermal, water, light and acoustic protection. The light reigns by reinforcing the space amplitude dominated by pure white and wood flooring, by the selective choice of finishes and the strict control of the techniques and constructive processes. More than an original architectural concept, the MONCHIQUE enterprise proposes a new way of inhabiting the historical spaces, giving back to the city part of its invaluable heritage.
