kopke residences | porto | portugal
2009 | 2013 with octávio queirós 

The Kopke Residences is a residential development located on Rua Joaquim Kopke in Porto, Portugal. The project encompasses the rehabilitation of a historic manor house, recognized by the Oporto City Hall, which has been converted into two apartments while preserving its original features. Additionally, two new houses were constructed in the former vegetable garden area, creating a harmonious blend of historical and contemporary architecture. A common garage connects all the residential units, integrating the development cohesively.The intervention respects the character of the original building while introducing contemporary forms and materials that respond to the site’s scale. The result is a thoughtful dialogue between heritage and new architecture, framed by private gardens and urban intimacy in the heart of Porto.
