Armazém 7

A 1940s riverside warehouse converted into a workspace cooperative. The steel trusses stayed; the collapsed roof returned as glass and timber.

A roof that came back

When we first visited, half of the roof had fallen in and trees were growing on the floor. The steel trusses, however, were sound.

We repaired the trusses, added a timber lattice and a glazed roof with operable panels, and placed workspaces inside as freestanding timber rooms.

Shared by design

A long central street with kitchens, a library and workshops is open to all members. Private studios line the edges.
