About the Palace: Built in the early 20th century, by José Rodrigues Cardoso, a successful former emigrant in Brazil, who built his fortune on international trade businesses between South America and Europe, ordered for this Palace to be built, when he returned to his hometown. This bourgeois house shows, in all its splendor, the Art Nouveau legacy in Porto. That is one of the aspects that contribute most to the romanticism attributed to it and for it to have been named a site of “historic interest” by Porto municipality. There is substance left by heritage made up of a diversity of influences, which confer a singular character and personality to it. Allow yourself to fall in love as you visit this building, admiring the richness of its details, a trademark of its architectural style. Inside, breathe in the impressive height of 3.90 meters, stop at the ceiling and let yourself slide down across the arcades, see the doors, the wainscots or the original stairway, till you reach the floor, all of it original wood. Outside, rest your eyes on the refurbished winter garden and appreciate the granite façade, ornamented with tiles. This UNIQUE project, praised by authorities in charge with authorising it, privileges a well-planned fusion with the richness of its legacy and contemporary demands for sustainability and comfort. About the Project: The project chooses to recover and reuse most of the building’s original materials, such as the stuccos, frames, doors, jambs, wainscots, fireplaces, footers and floors, combining them with state-of-the-art materials and equipment, following the most demanding comfort and safety standards. The result is a beautiful centenary palace adapted to a contemporary lifestyle, with unique features, such as acoustic and thermal insulation, air-conditioned and air renewal, underground parking for eight cars, the lift, two heated swimming pools, fully-equipped kitchens, etc. The renewal project was handed to the renowned Architect Nuno Valentim, whose projects have received several awards, among which National Prize of Urban Rehabilitation, João de Almada Prize or Iberian Architecture Prize.
