Quinta de Vila Boa de Arufe is constituted by a set of three buildings dating from the 19th and 20th centuries dedicated to livestock. The project proposes the rehabilitation and conversion of the main building into a single-family dwelling and the demolition of the remaining two. The architectural purpose aims to preserve the building’s most relevant elements, such as the 19th-century neoclassical facades, in order to maintain its identity and enhance its current architectural features. In the surroundings of the building there is a new outdoor living / leisure space – hitherto non-existent – marked by a camellia plantation.
