葡萄牙新总领事馆的项目被规划为里约热内卢圣克莱门特宫的延伸。受益于宽敞的场地和宝贵的位置，新的体量引入了先前存在的历史结构。
The project for the new General Consulate of Portugal was planned as an extension of Saint Clemente’s Palace in Rio de Janeiro. Benefiting from a spacious site and a valuable location, the new volume introduces itself into the pre-existing historical structure.
在设计过程中，需要充分考虑到原有的建筑，并在现有的建筑和已实施的建筑之间建立良好的平衡关系。
The design process required a great consideration for the pre-existence and a well-balanced relationship between the prevailing and the implemented building.
扩建部分的简单体量保持适度，覆盖着一个绿色的屋顶，从宫殿的露台上可以看到。新建筑在入口处的天井里显示了其强烈的身份，用瓷砖装饰，以及在内部空间。
The simple volume of the extension stays modest, covered with a green roof visible from the terrace of the Palace. The new building reveals its strong identity in the entrance patio, finished with ceramic tiles, as well as in the interior spaces.
在这里，构成天花板的斜面强调了中央天井，负责让建筑充满自然光。这种性质的三个天井的序列形成了一个核心，所有的功能都围绕着它来组织。
Here, the oblique faces that compose the ceiling emphasize the central patios, responsible for filling the building with natural light. A sequence of three patios of this nature forms a core around which all the functions are organized.
这种类型的解决方案确保了结构的良好热性能。此外，天井的开口允许自然通风并调节阳光的直接照射。此外，绿色屋顶形成了一个厚实的天然隔热层，有助于避免建筑过热。
This type of solution ensures a good thermal behavior of the structure. In addition, the openings in the patios allow natural ventilation and regulate the direct exposure to sun light. Moreover, the green roof forms a thick and natural insulation layer that helps avoiding an overheating of the building.
