In an increasingly fragmented world, dominated by egocentrism, the act of gathering and participating in collective activities stands as an act of resistance. This project begins with a traditional house in Ericeira. Through the reconfiguration of its social areas—both indoor and outdoor—it becomes possible to enrich family and social life. These changes facilitate activities such as barbecues with friends, enable remote work, and allow for the enjoyment of sunset views. The photographic coverage follows this principle—portraying architecture as a stage for life, as a device—documenting the specific day the construction was completed. The day the structure began its gradual transition from foreground to background.
