Rose building stands on the riverside avenue of Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal, where Aurora Arquitectos reworks an old house into a layered interior narrative. Behind the rational facade, the project turns an eccentric private world into five independent apartments that preserve mosaics, murals, and carpentry while adding contemporary structure. Each new dwelling grows from the original rooms, so the building reads as one continuous story in five chapters.
Barão Sabrosa Apartment sits within the semi-basement of a traditional gaioleiro building in Lisbon, Portugal, reworked by Aurora Arquitectos as a calm, luminous retreat. The compact 64 m² apartment unfolds as a single open room where existing arches, new freestanding elements, and a pale, minimal palette organize daily life. Light from the rear courtyard washes across vaulted ceilings and pale flooring, softening the sense of being below street level.
