We are in 1923, in an extremely rare building and a unique example of Art Nouveau in the city of Faro. The current project led by architecture studio PAr aims to recover, restore, and expand the existing building through a deep rehabilitation, simultaneously restoring both the exterior and interior and making use of the roof area." Art Nouveau and Modernist architecture, though distinct, share a historical context in the late 19th to early 20th century. They both rejected historicism and embraced innovation. However, Art Nouveau favored organic, ornate forms, while Modernist architecture prioritized functionality, minimalism, and the use of industrial materials. Prominent figures include Hector Guimard, Alphonse Mucha, Émile Gallé, and René Lalique. Art Nouveau aimed to break free from traditional styles, emphasizing individual expression and the beauty of the natural world.Discover this unique private house and also office of PAr architecture studio opened exclusively for the Modernist Week-end.We invite you to embark on a journey of discovery within this unique private residence and office space, a collaborative venture between PAr architecture studio and The Modernist Faro, exclusively unveiled for the Modernist Weekend.
