GALERIA VASCO DA GAMA 26 is situated in the fishing village of Ferragudo, Algarve, Southern Portugal. The historic center of Ferragudo is an extremely sensitive area to work. The studio had the pleasure to renovate one of the untouched buildings in Rua Vasco da Gama, one of the main streets in the village. A particular aspect of this building is the connection to the quayside through a long and narrow corridor, a space formerly used as a repair shop for boats.

The two storey building was a former warehouse for boats on the ground floor and an adult school on the first floor. The building was totally dilapidated but still it had all the original features. The clients brief was the preservation of this historic building, which for many years was a desired project to the studio. On the entire ground floor – which benefits from the two entrances – was created a gallery which is open to the public. The upper floor was transformed into an apartment that benefits from a roof terrace created above the long room.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.

Do not hesitate to contact us at info@complesco.com. We make it our priority to reply hastily!
