Description

The Seara group is the first of the neighbourhoods developed by João Álvaro Rocha for the Special Rehousing Program in which he rehearsed different connections of the same typologies adapted to the specificity of each case. Here, the 132 dwellings are organized in 12 parallel blocks of three floors. Even though highly limited by area and cost, the careful details are remarkable, especially in the wooden elements, and the indoor organization that eliminates circulation elements to optimize the area of the apartments.
