马托辛霍斯的小而旧的房子属于一组类似的建筑，它们延续了城市的记忆和身份。修长的外形与矮小狭窄的房子́尺寸形成了鲜明的对比。
The small and preexisting house at Matosinhos belongs to a group of resembling buildings that perpetuate the city’s memory and identity. The elongate shape of the property contrasts with the short and narrow house ́s dimensions.
当我们第一次参观它时，房子已经无拘无束，它的主体建筑通过几个和连续的附属建筑向后院延伸，里面的房间狭小且没有自然采光和通风。为了保持住户们的记忆，我们保留了它的主体建筑，尽管我们对它的组织结构进行了必要的改变。
When we first visited it, the house was already uninhibited and its main building was extended towards the back yard through several and consecutive annexes with tiny and interior rooms without natural lighting or ventilation. In order to keep alive the memory that the households, we kept its main building although we created necessary changes to its organization.
从入口处，我们设置了主要的构图轴，在其深度上穿过房子。后院的新建筑围绕着两个天井，使所有的社会空间相互之间以及与外部花园保持明确的关系。因此，绿色空间直接参与到建筑的环境中，并延伸到后院蜿蜒的建筑上方的绿色屋顶。一楼是房屋的私人空间。即使他们被放置在一个分离的地板上，他们的访问是一个夹层地板穿透，在低层的空间和点缀的开口，允许横向的意见，并强调了深度的组成。
From the entrance, we set the main composition axis that crosses the house in its depth. The back yard’s new construction lies around two patios which keep all the social spaces in clear relationship with each other and with the exterior garden. Thereby, the green spaces directly participate in the building’s environment and are as well extended to the green roof above the meandering construction at the back yard. On the first floor are located the private spaces of the house. Even if they were placed on a separated floor, their access is a mezzanine floor pierced and in relation to the spaces on the lower floor and punctuated by openings that allow transversal views and accentuate the depth of the composition.
建设性地，保留了现有的技术和材料的主楼，同时，假设新的扩展新的混凝土元素。尽管如此，新旧之间的颜色和材料的污染，使建筑成为一个活的有机体。混凝土出现在主立面上，因为需要进行必要的调整以创造一个车库入口，然而，它是作为现有构造的模拟物出现的。赭石色是来自该地粘土的颜色，会迁移到周围墙壁的灰泥和底层水泥地面的颜料上。绿色，最初只出现在主立面的现有瓷砖上，后来被延续到新瓷砖上，而且还出现在后院的外墙和跨越所有空间的室内木板上。
Constructively, were kept the existing techniques and materials of the main building and, at the same time, were assumed new concrete elements on the new extension. Despite this, there is a contamination of colors and materials between the pre-existing and the new, making the building a living organism. The concrete appears on the main facade owing to the necessary adjustments to create a garage entrance, however, it appears as a mimetic of the existent tectonic. The ocher color from the clay soil of the property migrates to the plaster of the surrounding walls and to the pigment of the cement floor all over the ground floor. The green color, initially only on the existing tiles on the main facade, was carried over to the new tiles but also to the back yard facades and to interior carpentries that cross all spaces.
