架构师提供的文本描述。在波尔图的历史中心，一个发展现代住宅的机会似乎能够融入城市的形态。这个项目的业主和隔壁的房子是同一栋，它的设计方式可以为他们自己的住宅创造新的空间，同时增加两个新的工作室。面临的挑战是建造一座建筑，以适应位于该市最古老的街道之一Rua da Vitória的空置地段的突出空隙，并利用这一世界遗产遗址的城市景观的优越景观。

Text description provided by the architects. In the Historic Center of Porto, an opportunity appears to develop a contemporary dwelling capable of being urbanistically integrated into the morphology of the city. Owned by the same owners as the next-door building, the project was thought out in a way that could create new spaces for extending their own dwelling, as well as adding two new studios. The challenge was to create a building that would adapt to the accentuated gap of the vacant lot located in Rua da Vitória, one of the oldest streets in the city, and to take advantage of the privileged view of the urban landscape of this World Heritage Site.

该建筑遵循相邻建筑物和街道的线形，并根据土地的形态，利用层次的差异，在街道下建造两层楼。总共有四层楼，两层以上的街道，对齐边缘的屋顶附近的建筑物，保持现有的城市轮廓。

The building follows the alignment of the neighboring constructions and the street, and adapts to the morphology of the land taking advantage of the difference of levels to build two floors below the street level. In total there are four floors, two floors above the street, aligned by the edges of the roof of the neighboring buildings, maintaining the existing urban profile.

从第一个工作室所在的街道直接进入住宅内部。上层，通过相邻的建筑物，包括一个套房和一个阳台。第二间工作室位于较低的楼层，分布与第一间相同。技术区域位于后院，与这两栋建筑相连。

Access to the interior of the dwelling is done directly from the street, where the first studio is located. The upper floor, accessible through the adjacent building, consists of a suite and a balcony. The second studio is located on the lower floor with the same distribution as the first one. Technical areas are located in the backyard, which communicates with both buildings.

这座建筑向东南方向的城市完全开放，洞口宽阔，顶层有一个阳台，这样你就可以欣赏到城市的景观。这一更加撕裂的前线与西北前线的街道形成鲜明对比，由于该建筑与邻近建筑物的距离较近，街道更加封闭。

The building is completely open to the city to the Southeast, with wide openings, and a balcony on the top floor, so that you can enjoy the landscape over the city. This more torn front contrasts with the Northwest front towards the street, which is more closed due to the proximity that the building has with neighboring buildings.
