Tomar Environmental Monitoring and Interpretation Offices Tomar, Portugalauthors: Nuno Griff, Architects Albuquerque Goinhas, Augusto Marcelino, Cristina Mendonca, Luis Baptista, Pedro Patricio, Sofia AntunesJury’s assessment:Completely unconventional reconstruction and conversion of an industrial object situated near the historical part of Portuguese city of Tomar. Original built-in unit from reinforced concrete divides the inner space into the public part - a place for social contacts and meetings (café, exhibitory area) - and the private part containing accommodation facilities for invited artists. These private areas are defined by the embedded reinforced concrete structure and are differentiated in color within the realms of the whole public interior based on the contrast of white matt color and dark epoxy varnish. It is an excellent example of transformation while preserving the trace of the original historical urban structure.
