The building features classic architecture with unexpected design features that make it stand out. During the renovation project, both the building and its 250m2 backyard were updated while preserving pre-existing elements such as the typical old facade of yellow tiles and the central wooden staircase topped by the original skylight - key elements of Porto's traditional architecture. The renovation project was carried out with the highest standards in terms of finishes and functionality and introduced a new, contemporary aesthetic language to the interior, featuring straight lines and unexpected spectacular features.

The building now offers ten unique apartments, each with one or two bedrooms, all served by a lift and reception area. Modern facilities such as a garden with a jacuzzi and a greenhouse are also available for residents to enjoy.
