Experimental

One December morning, a small office on the periphery of Porto’s central belt decided to become a home. Into the open-plan space, three primary elements were introduced: a pane of glass, a wall, and an object.

Everything else was left untouched: standard windows, budget flooring, original doors, and basic paintwork. The intervention does not seek to solve the problems of housing, but rather to explore the condition of inhabiting what was never meant to be inhabited.

This is a spatial essay on adaptation and liminality — a space suspended between the provisional and the permanent, between office and home, between what is sufficient and what is necessary.
