Martins Architecture Office has renovated a single family house in Braga exploring a sense of light, anchored to the vertical acesses organized through half floors.

The project briefing was to rehabilitate a single family house in an advanced state of degradation. The ruin implied the anarchic and unarticulated spatial appropriation that was motivated by the multiple types of occupation and uses the building went through, remaining only as original the main facade.
