Moradia do Retiro by Ricardo Azevedo Arquitecto
Moradia do Retiro is a house in Santo Tirso, Portugal, designed by Ricardo Azevedo Arquitecto. The project works within an existing structure, preserving granite walls and a sloped tile roof while opening the domestic realm to a private exterior. It balances the client’s wish to keep the building’s character with the comforts of a contemporary home, drawing a clear line between what endures and what’s renewed.
