Boavista is a single-family house refurbishment in a well-known Porto street with the same name. The width limitations of these old constructions invite the dwelling to extend its boundaries to the inner courtyard. With this, a generous area is provided, setting the entire social area through one contiguous space.

The two ends of this area are thought to keep this space as open and extent as possible. From one side it frames the garden facing south. From the other a skylight is set, establishing a direct relation between the social and private area.
