Staff was living in the main floor, the family in the upper floor. The intervention opens the house to the outside by demolishing key elements while respecting the existing architecture lines and elements typical of the early XXth century. Rua de D.

This project includes two main interventions that took place simultaneously in 2016: - Restoration of the architectural structures of the four Greenhouses, as a reinterpretation of the existing historical records. The project respected the current norms for structural design and specific legislation for projects of this nature, guaranteeing stability in adverse meteorological conditions, characteristic of this area; - Preservation and restoration of the pre-existing decorative built elements which would have been part of the buildings built there, such as facades, greenhouse masonry and stone elements, decorative walls of the entrance porch, walls and walls plaster coverings, benches, tiles and balustrades and lake sculptures and plinths.The four main greenhouse structures were built on top of the existent archeological remains and the walking paths and flowerbeds were restored according to the 1865 plan from the original botanical garden.

https://teresafrazaopereira.com/Restoration-Work-on-the-Robillion-Pavillion-National-Palace-of-Queluz Restoration Work on the Robillion Pavilion - National Palace of Queluz Conference Centre, Events Room and Amenities The southwest wing of the National Palace of Queluz was named after the architect Jean-Baptiste Robillion, responsible for the construction works in the Palace between 1760 and 1782. The lower floor of this pavilion was closed to the public following the fire that occurred in the night of October 4th 1934, and was left unfinished after the reconstruction of the Palace in the 1940s in interventions led by Architect Raúl Lino.This project aimed to reuse the unfinished spaces of the Palace and a cafeteria and an auditorium were built, in a total area of 485m2. The location takes advantage of the connection to the outside terrace and the surrounding gardens through bay windows throughout the west facade. The alteration of the last steps of the staircase leading to the cafeteria reestablished the link that existed between the end of the visit tour and the new spaces. In the upper floor, the use of a technical space allowed the installation of a lift to overcome the existing physical barrier between floors and connect the end of the visiting circuit to the cafeteria space, making the terrace, the surrounding gardens and the Tile Channel accessible to all visitors. The conference centre was provided with invisible loudspeakers installed on the side walls and with a concealed projector in the drop ceiling, presenting itself clean of equipment. This allows you to take advantage of simple architectural language which was adopted for the new spaces. Although the characteristics high ceilings were maintained, the unpretentious architecture kept the protagonism to the richly adorned rooms of the National Palace of Queluz that precede the new spaces. The project also included the recuperation of a wing of technical spaces to serve the new public areas, one of oldest spaces in the Palace. The recuperation of the exterior façades of the Robillion Pavilion was also an interesting topic, as part of the main project for the recuperation of the façades on this palace and the restitution of its original blue colour. Water leaks were found during this project coming from the Ambassadors terrace, above the technical areas. This finding lead me to develop the complete assessment of the palace drainage system, converging in this place. A new project was launched - The Ambassadors Terrace on the National Palace of Queluz - to assure drainage and waterproofing of the Ambassadors Terrace. This investigation lead to significant archeologic discoveries and created the opportunity to reestablish the original landscape desing of the terrace.

It’s composed of the southeast extension of the Palace, including the Tower and the volume of the old Carriages, now the newly renovated Commercial Area.The&nbsp; red facades belong to the old Monastery of Pena, and the yellow ones or that are covered with tiles correspond to the New Palace, resulting from the expansion of D. Fernando II. These colors are the originals of the Palace.All the facades and walls were recuperated. Lime mortar and lime paint with mineral pigments were used to guarantee the compatibility of this intervention with the existent elements. For the red colour, to obtain the orginal tone it was found the paint was saturated with the pigments and a permeable finishing was added to hold the pigments without compromising the breathing characteristics of this wall system. The recuperation of all the wood and mettalic windows was included in the project. One particular structural challenge was found during construction works: a suspended minaret had rotated out of the tower where it was built in.

Also, some paths of the drainage system were unknown. We decided to conduct a survey to determine all the sources of water coming to this terrace - the survey included archeologic works and introducing probes in all the pipes to determine the water flows. Several unknown collectors and hidden boxes were discovered to conduct the rain waters to a recondite underground masonry galleria 2m height that goes through the property and conducts these waters to the river. At this point, the project was adapted to include a concrete well to allow access to the gallery for further studies. The Ambassadors terrace consists of an archeologic site as the National Palace of Queluz was built on top of the former Palace of Marques de Castelo Rodrigo from the XVIth century.&nbsp; Therefore a complete archeologic survey was necessary to come to a compatible solution for the new drainage and waterproofing system to install here. The survey uncovered unknown compartments that were thought to belong to the former Palace. The walls and spans were registered and also samples from the existent mortars were taken to analysis of its composition and to dating the materials.&nbsp; The underground water galleria was found below the former palace and that brought light to the theory of the existence of an ancient major drainage and feedwater systems that was running through all the farms and properties in the Queluz area.&nbsp; The main challenge in the project was to prepare the designs, schedules and budget without full knowledge of the final solution due to archeologic restrains, working with a very short deadline. To deal with the situation, we minimized the uncertainty factors by dividing the project by disciplines and establish overlapping phases of conceiving, implementing and contracting for each phase. To preserve the archeologic objects, the waterproofing design was adapted to&nbsp;accommodate the existent elevations and slopes. of the now uncovered archeologic volumes. This project also created the opportunity to restore the original landscape design of the terrace.

Carlos theatre in Lisbon and architect of&nbsp;Quinta da Regaleira, one of Sintra’s main attractions.&nbsp; The chalet was built for Victor Carlos Sassetti, hotel owner in Lisbon and Sintra, as a revivalist recreational summer residence built between 1890 and 1894. Parques de Sintra - Monte da Lua acquired the property in 2011 to preserve its heritage value and to establish a pedestrian route between Sintra’s city centre and the Moorish Castle on the top of the village hills. The rehabilitation project for Vila Sassetti The rehabilitation project for the main chalet on Quinta da Amizade - Vila Sassetti - aims at building an interpretation centre for the Cultural Landscape of Sintra and educate on Manini’s influence in the landscape. There are several properties in the chalet surroundings that were built according to the revivalist style followed in both Vila Sassetti and Quinta da Regaleira designs. There is a tower in this chalet that suits perfectly the purpose of a 360º viewpoint to the mountains and its stylish properties. For the main building, the conservation and restoration work targeted the facades and the external decorative features, including the restoration of the 17th century tile panels. All of the buildings had their roofs repaired in accordance with the original typology. The tiles display a Moorish style with an emphasised archaic influence with each tile being half-moon shaped, arranged into rows with the channels in between cemented to facilitate rainwater flow-off. My role in this project was the coordination of the project for the adaptation of Vila Sassett to receive the museological project, including the coordination of the following projects: architecture, conservation and restoration, structural, water infrastructures, sewage, energy and communications, and their works. I started my collaboration in this project after the external decorative features and the facades had been repaired. The project consisted in adapting the interior spaces to accommodate an interpretation centre (museological project) and had some architectural constraints for visitors, specially due to rooms disposition that didn’t allow a natural circuit for visitors. The first step in the project was to conduct a survey on the conservation state of the interior decorative and structural elements and prepare the intervention strategy to preserve the buildings inherent heritage values. A crack on a circular slab caught our attention for the loading capacity of the main circular rooms in the larger tower where we wanted to gather the visitors in events. A specific survey was conducted to determine the loading patterns and structural performance of these elements. During the survey, the team found a curious structural solution for circular slabs made of ceramic ties that created a challenge to increase loading capacity while accommodating the infrastructure requirements for multimedia elements we wanted to install for 360º landscape interpretation in this tower. A retrofit solution was developed with assistance of an external team of experts in structural retrofit.

I’m Teresa. Born in Lisbon and living in Toronto since 2017. My website is almost all about heritage sites and old buildings. How did I come to this? Loving math at an earlier stage pointed my path towards engineering studies instead of Architecture when I used to think I would one day find all the beauty in drawing and designing as an architect. Truth is I’ve later found in engineering all the beauty of old buildings and the curious history and stories behind them. Working in the seismic assessment and retrofit solutions for an old masonry building for my Master thesis was clarifying for my professional vocation to apply structural design knowledge to retrofit and rehabilitate beautiful old buildings.After that, I was lucky enough to get my dream job at Parques de Sintra - Monte da Lua, the best conservatiion company in the world for 7 years in a row, where I had the opportunity to contact with the most prestigious heritage sites in Portugal and work with a brilliant multidisciplinary team. In 2017 I left my dream job to start a new adventure in Toronto. If you share an interest in heritage restoration or if you want to know more about my projects feel free to contact me. https://teresafrazaopereira.com/Projects-1 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 18:28:09 +0000 Teresa Pereira https://teresafrazaopereira.com/Projects-1 Projects 2017 - Keil Museum at Quinta da Abelheira 2017 - Sintra UNESCO Landscape Interpretation Centre and Museum on Villa Sassetti 2017 - Nature Interpretation Centre on the Palace of Monserrate Gardens 2017 - Cafeteria and Shop on National Palace of Pena Park 2017 - Drainage and waterproofing on National Palace of Pena main terrace 2016 - Botanical Garden on the National Palace of Queluz 2016 - The Ambassadors Terrace on the National Palace of Queluz 2016 - Drainage system of the National Palace of Queluz 2016 - Construction of two cottages for fire prevention equipment (pump) and washrooms - Chalet of the Countless of Edla, Pena National Park 2015 - Restoration Work on the Robillion Pavilion - Conference Centre, Events Room and Amenities 2015 - D.
