Description

TODOS is Domus Social’s workshop and community centre, situated at the entrance to one of Porto’s most densely populated neighbourhoods, the Cerco neighbourhood. It is a place for learning and sharing, created following a major refurbishment carried out by the municipal company using funds from the PRR.

The TODOS regeneration project was developed by the architectural practice merooficina. Among other aspects, particularly those relating to accessibility, thermal comfort and usability, the intervention gave the building a fresh new look with the introduction of ‘tijolo de burro’ and new shutter systems that emphasised the symmetry and monolithic character of this institutional building.

The creation of this almost hermetic structure, capable of closing in on itself, has produced a sort of shell-like building that opens up to foster a more direct relationship with the community: ‘a house that opens its doors’.

This refurbishment formed part of a broader application by the Municipality of Porto to the Operação Integrada do Território de Intervenção (PAOITI) AMP - Centro Oriental, which aligns with the objectives of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) for the National Strategy to Combat Poverty and the Action Plan for Disadvantaged Communities in the Porto Metropolitan Area (PACD-AMP).
