Januário Godinho Prize 2025
18.12.2025
The rehabilitation project of Quinta das Águas was distinguished with the Januário Godinho Prize, promoted by the Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, recognising exemplary interventions in the safeguarding and enhancement of built heritage.
The intervention focused on a 19th-century ensemble and stood out for its constructive rigour, the quality of materials and the coherence of its architectural language, establishing a clear presence without overshadowing the existing buildings.
Organized around three gestures — the rehabilitation of the Casa Térrea e Torre, the recovery of the Service Garage, and the introduction of a new Summer Pavilion — the project seeks to reestablish continuity between architecture, memory, and landscape, restoring the identity of the place while adapting it to contemporary modes of inhabitation.
