Mustard Building: Calm Coastal Apartments With Light-Filled Terraces

Mustard Building stands in Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal, where Aurora Arquitectos works within strict heritage rules to extend an existing urban house. The new four-floor volume turns a protected city-center plot into a compact residential complex, drawing on calm interiors and generous openings to the patio. Here, measured gestures reshape daily life without losing sight of the original rose-hued story.

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.

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.

Light from the rear courtyard washes across vaulted ceilings and pale flooring, softening the sense of being below street level.
