Portimão House of youth

This is an case study for Portimão House of youth.

The project consist to rehabilitate the old school of Portimão into a house of youth. A space for meeting,for new experiences, reflection, creation and formation destined for young generations to state they artistic and cultural expressions.

The old school remind us the obligation of the education and not the free choice of cultural activities, so a simple rehabilitation of the old school to convert in a special place to invite the young people to participate in cultural experiences is not an efficient solution.

So our proposal is to cover the old school with a structure, like a skin with a shape of a house, a white house like the traditional houses of Algarve, south of Portugal but with a contemporary image.

In this solution we offer a new great look to attract the young people. Outside we have a giant house and Inside we have the old building painted from outside all in red in a white ambient, to show that we can make the same things but in a different way.
