Town House in Lisbon

 - Burkhard Franke

This cream-coloured house in a narrow lane in the old city centre of Lisbon fits inconspicuously into its surroundings. Only at second glance would one recognize it as a reconstruction. Formerly standing on this site was a two-storey town house, the dilapidated fabric of which it was not possible to preserve, however. On this small plot of land, the new structure creates an unusual spatial complex - the dwelling of the architect and his family.
