Description
A conversion of an old bank branch, actually, of two, in a design research and promotion centre, was more than a simple change of use. Meanwhile through Rua de Brito Capelo, one of the main arteries of Matosinhos, it’s possible to pass by the old service counters, go into França Júnior Street and understand the similarities between the two facades drawn in 1937 by Manuel Fernandes de Sá. In the reconversion, by Maria Milano, the first floor becomes thereby a possibility of connection between the two streets with an inside patio. From the exhibiting of objects, studio work and the housing of guests, the two buildings have now a more affable and urban use.
