对整个建筑结构进行了全面的维护和修复，并对楼梯、栏杆、外门窗等按原设计方案进行了改进。

“Casa da Baixa”这个名字表明了将这座建筑恢复为住宅的意图，将一套单间公寓和一套一居室的公寓结合起来，为游客提供住宿，还有一间办公室，并将破旧的一层咖啡厅改建成一家融合在一起并连接到同一单元的欢迎餐厅。

The name "Casa da Baixa" is indicative of the intention to restore the building as housing, combining a studio apartment and a 1-bedroom apartment intended for tourist accommodation, along with an office and the conversion of the run-down ground floor café into a welcoming restaurant integrated into, and connected to the same unit.

出于“尊重”对建筑基础的介入，设计方案旨在增强现有建筑，因为它代表了19世纪波尔图的住宅和建筑风格。同时，新的设计试图使它的标志使用的元素，他们的当代语言，精心插入，以求和谐共存。这些新元素的引入，丝毫无损于原有空间的解读，也提供了一定的空间品质，使这座新的居住和翻新建筑实现了新的简略功能。

Out of "respect" for the architectural basis of the intervention, the design solution aimed to enhance the existing building in that it is representative of the housing and construction styles of 19th century Porto. Simultaneously, the new design tried to make its mark using elements notable for their contemporary language, that are carefully inserted so as to coexist harmoniously. With the introduction of these new elements, which in no way compromise the reading of the original spaces and also provide a certain spatial quality, the functions of the new brief are achieved for this living and refurbished building.
