The redevelopment of the former canning factory Brandão & Companhia Ltd is part of Matosinhos Sul Urbanization Plan by architect Álvaro Siza. Positioned near the coastline, the project respects the site's industrial heritage while introducing a contemporary mixed-use development. This new design includes a medical laboratory, health clinic, offices, commercial spaces, and collective housing. Efforts will be made to reconstruct the original building envelope and chimney to counter previous alterations that mischaracterized the factory, preserving its connection to the city's identity and collective memory.
