The Maria José Nogueira Pinto Long-Term Care and Convalescence Unit was designed following a tender for the restoration and conversion of a former factory and office building. Preserving the existing volume, the intervention is intended to be elegant, flexible and functional, allowing for quick alteration of the layout and modules without disturbance to the normal running of the health care unit. The building, comprising five floors above ground level and a basement floor, has capacity for 73 beds. Optimising the building’s high ceilings, large rooms were designed, which are light and airy.
