Casa de Oeiras

The ‘Casa de Oeiras’ rehabilitated by the Architect Alzira Leão is a piece from 1961, being its project signed by the Architect João Alves de Sousa.

To intervene in a piece of Architecture of recognized merit raises additional concerns in terms of renovation and restoration, of the materials’ selection and of the special options choice in order to confer a new ambiance without losing the original concept. It should be acknowledged, the moved and delighted response from the author of the original project to the preformed rehabilitation during his visit to the piece in the context of the European Architectural Heritage Events, in which the ‘Casa de Oeiras’ was part of the Modern Architecture tour.

The ‘Casa de Oeiras’ was also the stage of the motion picture “A Esperança Está Onde Menos Se Espera” (2009) from the highly rated Portuguese Film Director Joaquim Leitão.
