Urban 44 is a project for a three-apartment building located in the center of Ponta Delgada.

This corner building has four floors.  On the ground floor, with an entrance from the main street, in addition to the common areas of the hall and vertical access through stairs and lift, there is a two-bedroom (T2) typology apartment with a patio.

The apartment is organized around a central circulation that separates the private areas (to the left) – laundry, bathroom, a bedroom and a suite, while to the right there is the most social area of the apartment – living room and kitchen in open space. The patio can be accessed from the living room, the central circulation and the suite, which makes the spaces very fluid and in constant connection with the outdoor.

On the first floor there is another T2 apartment, with a similar spatial organization, but with a wide balcony in the social area.

The last two floors are occupied by a T3 duplex apartment. On the lower floor, you will find a hall and stairs, a laundry room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and two suites, one of them with a balcony. On the upper floor, set back from the building’s facade, there is a social bathroom, a wide living and dining room, and a kitchen that can either be an open space or be closed off by a system of panels. Additionally, this apartment features a terrace divided into two areas, one connected to the kitchen and the other one associated with the living room with a lounge overlooking the sea.
