"It was on April 20, 2022, that I returned to the first house I designed, this time to renovate it. After 65 years since its construction, it was natural for a profound intervention to be necessary while maintaining the authenticity of the house."
"The Casa d'Abreu Neto is now a space for public enjoyment, establishing itself as a living museum of modern Portuguese architecture and preserving the family memory that gave rise to it."
Alvaro Siza returned to Casa d'Abreu Neto in April 2022 to undertake a comprehensive renovation of his inaugural architectural work, completed 65 years earlier. The intervention maintained the house's authenticity while addressing necessary structural and functional updates required by time. The renovated Casa d'Abreu Neto now functions as a public space and living museum dedicated to modern Portuguese architecture. The project preserves both the architectural significance of Siza's early work and the family history that inspired its original creation, establishing the house as an important cultural and historical landmark.
