Portuguese architectural practice António Paulo Marques, Arquiteto e Associados designed a housing building located at Rua Nova do Rio s/n and on the inner ring road, parish of Paranhos, in the north of Porto, Portugal.
The building is inserted in an area of universities and near the Hospital S. João, close to the main access roads and public transport network, is located in the centre of a trapezoidal lot that takes advantage of the alignment of the plot to raise two volumes whose proximity generates an interesting tension between them.

The two volumes designed by António Paulo Marques, Arquiteto e Associados connect in their central gap with the vertical communication cores and the distribution and access spaces, accentuated as you approach them by the proximity and tension generated by the two blocks.
The program is organized over four floors into two flat typologies, two T0, and fourteen T1, while the basement is located in the car park. In the monochromatic façade, the openings obey a random and dynamic composition, which at certain points breaks the corners of the volumes.

Description of project by António Paulo Marques, Arquiteto e Associados
This private initiative residential project is located next to the Circunvalação, on the northern edge of the city of Porto. The plot has a trapezoidal configuration and faces rua Nova do Rio.
The building's location in the center of the plot allowed openings to be created on all its facades. Using existing alignments in the surroundings, two volumes were proposed that establish a relationship of great proximity and tension with each other. Vertical communications and distribution spaces are located in the center, in the interstice formed by the two volumes.
The access to the building converges to its center, this route is accentuated by the proximity and tension between the volumes The program organizes two T0 apartments and fourteen T1 apartments, spread over four floors. A basement floor was dedicated to parking.

From the outside, the building's facades are treated in a monochromatic light grey tone, which predominates in all its constructive elements. The windows obey a random and dynamic matrix composition that at certain times breaks the corners of the volumes.
