Experiences at Casa d’Abreu Neto, Álvaro Siza Vieira’s first work, in Matosinhos

Casa d’Abreu Neto is a family’s home, and it is in that spirit that we open it to those who wish to know it.
 We have prepared three experiences, each with a different perspective: the architecture, the memories of those who lived here and a conversation around the table.

They take place by appointment, so you can take your time discovering the Casa.

(1) Architecture

Led by an architect with a deep knowledge of the life and work of Álvaro Siza Vieira, and with the testimony of a family member who has followed the Casa since its origins. A visit through the ideas behind the project, its construction solutions, its relationship with the place and the Casa’s evolution over time.

(2) Life at the Casa

Led by a family member who was born and raised in the Casa, it reveals the relationship between architecture and the everyday life of those who lived here. The story of the project, its construction and decades of life is told through personal memories, a perspective you will not find in books or conventional tours.
