As part of the rehabilitation project for the buildings of the Real Vinícola complex, in addition to insertion of Casa da Arquitectura, Guilherme Machado Vaz Arquitectos has designed the Jazz Orchestra of Matosinhos in Porto. This wing has spaces for rehearsals, offices, social rooms, training rooms and recording rooms with varying capacity depending on the needs. The principles and functional requirements have consolidated these spaces, guided by all constraints imposed by the program itself, with inherent characteristics and needs that limited formal and material choices.

The appropriation of these spaces with different scales, compositions and combinations of materials result in multisensorial experiences consequence from the acoustic effect created in certain spaces. The rhythm of the wooden slats and the weight of the pre-existing stone preserved, leads to a diversification of textures, colours and lighting results, which influence each spatial perception and experimentation.
