porto-based firm OODA had the chance to redesign a two-storey apartment near the sea. the ‘227 flat’ was given a flexible floor
plan, combining its compartmentalized program into larger spaces flooded with daylight. the original dated surfaces were replaced
with natural wood on the doors, furniture, stairs and floors. the walls and ceiling were painted white to reflect light and help the
interior feel larger. the open staircase joins both levels and contains a net which extends the upstairs office by providing an additional
hammock-like structure for repose with the ocean as a backdrop, viewable from the large window separating the work function from
the exterior terrace.
