平托-贝萨街位于波尔图市的东部边缘，在19世纪末被规划为一条结构性的道路，可以连接合并后的城市和新的城市主要火车站，坎潘哈。由于它的重要性，其宽阔的轮廓希望在两个正面的高度上进行建设和密集化。该住宅区旨在响应这一城市意图。它占据了街道上的一块待开发的地块，沿着地块的整个长度延伸，利用可见的建筑所定义的高度，创造一个新的立面尺度，尊重周围建筑的垂直比例。

Rua de Pinto Bessa, located on the eastern edge of the city of Porto, was planned at the end of the 19th century as a structuring road that could connect the consolidated city to the new main train station of the city, Campanhã. Due to its importance, its generous profile aspired the construction and densification in height of the two fronts. This housing block aim to respond to this urban intention. Occupying an awainting plot of land at the street, it extends along the entire length of the plot, taking advantage of the height defined by the visible buildings and creating a new facade metric that respects the vertical proportion of the surrounding buildings.

该建筑有一个粗糙和诚实的设计，突出了它自己的结构，与玻璃窗格交错，旨在最大限度地提高光线的进入和扩大内部占用的机会。在极限的情况下，我们可以认为设计的主要是建筑的骨架，为其提出了一个可以改变的内部布局。外墙对周围环境和阳光照射的反应。在北面，面对Rua de Pinto Bessa，有一个暴露在混凝土中的结构网格，它位于软化混凝土的基础上。最后一层是相邻建筑之间的例外和过渡。在南面–面向庭院–允许利用阳光的大玻璃窗与连接不同深度的护栏的金属结构并列。这些栅栏将生活空间慷慨地延伸到外面，创造了一种富有表现力的游戏，最大限度地捕捉室外的阳光，并控制室内空间的阳光照射。

The building has a rough and honest design that highlights its own structure, interleaved with glass panes that aim to maximize the entry of light and expand the chances of interior occupation. At the limit one can consider that what is designed is mainly the bones of the building for what a interior layout – that can be changed – is proposed. The facades react to the surroundings and to the sun exposure. To the north, facing Rua de Pinto Bessa, there is a structural grid in exposed concret that rests in a base in softened concrete. The last floor assumes the exception and transition between neighboring buildings. To the south – facing the courtyard – the large glazed windows that allow to take advantage of the sunlight are juxtaposed with a metal structure that joins the guardrails of variable depth. These grids, which generously extend the living space to the outside, create an expressive play that maximizes the solar capture of the outdoor area and controls the sun exposure of the interior spaces.

在7层楼中，有可能容纳17套公寓，每个标准层有3套，有两个例外是建筑的低限和上限。与结构网格相关的内部布局被认为是短暂的，为建筑提供了适应未来新配置的可能性。

Over the 7 floors there is the possibility of housing 17 apartments, 3 on each standard floor, with two exceptions being the lower and upper limits of the building. The interior layout that is associated with the structural grid is assumed as ephemeral, offering the building the possibility of adjusting to new future configurations.
