private library | alentejo

on going

the library is located in one of the spaces of the Jesus Convent, "the only Jerónimas monastery in Portugal"

the inspiration is a reinterpretation of elements of ecclesiastical architecture

the space is "designed" through a metallic structure that resembles a drawing; a sketch;

an imaginary space defined by its lines
