This project series documents the restoration of the Castro & Melo building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N 8/9. The office assigned the date 1988-1998 for this project. The Edificio Castro e Melo was part of Bloco A and identified as building 8/9 in the reconstruction plan of Siza. The structure of the building, originally built in the18th century in order to resist earthquakes, was rebuilt in concrete. Archival research was done in order to reproduce as much as possible the original style of the building. The interior of the building was reorganized to introduce dwellings. The first and second floors were kept as they were originally for stores and storerooms. The third and fourth floors were built for offices. The fifth, sixth and seventh floors were rearranged to introduce apartments to the building. The eighth floor was used for the technical equipment of the building. In 1996, Siza received the Secil prize for this building. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings, and details of finishes. Textual material includes project documentation, studies, and correspondence. Photographic material include images of studies, details of the interior and exterior, as well as construction work. It is important to mention that documentation can also be found in subseries Master plans and exterior spaces (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1) and Bloco A (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS2).
