3 Pombalino Apartments
What is Pombalino today?
An apartment used for a long time as a leather tannerie workshop. The aggressiveness of this type of use destroyed its character, losing the features of the pombalino architectonic imaginary.
The refurbishment and division of space into three apartments followed the next principles:
To maintain the pre-modern circulation logic between rooms, without corridors or small distribution spaces, adjusting the intervention to the existing partitioning, and greatly decreasing the need of demolitions, therefore preserving the integrity of the existing structure.
Reinvention of the pombalino interior’s architecture, by selecting some of its main features: sparsely decorated spaces, modular use of the constructive elements and the use of windows and doors as main elements of the architectonic characterization.
