Turning and old historical hotel into an modern hospital was a true challenge, due to it's insertion in the heart of the town, the city hall demanded that we kept the main facades similar to the existing ones, so respecting that, we designed a new volume to respond to the complex program of the hospital, this enlargement was proposed in a more modern way but always respecting the materials of Vila Real, specifically the Granite stone, the final result was an amazing renewal that will become a remarkable building in this town in the North of Portugal.
