Retrofit Almares Building
Santos, Brazil
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2015
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
A 70´s building in a port zone in Santos was badly preserved. The retrofit project goal was a revitalization as well as a completely recovery of the building.
The ground floor, previously closed and turned to indoors, is now open and facing the street - that had its sidewalk enlarged and a new asphalt paving. An art gallery and a café surrounded by a large water mirror on the ground floor attracts the outside pedestrians to enter inside. Moreover, a new attached site was acquired so that a parking lot could be located.
The main project proposal was creating a metallic sunscreen panel, that completely covers the west façade and goes until the top, becoming a generous pergola. This roof top floor, that was earlier only a technical slab, was turned into a collective living space and a city lookout along with an auditorium and an event space. A previous vehicle garage on the ground floor became an integrated space between common areas and the streets. The existing mosaic tile coating remained, but with a new layout and covered with a secondary metallic skin.
