Here we are ! Team 3 is in Porto city !!

We all arrived last weekend, to start this amazing adventure on Monday 24th !

The first one was Marco, the italian,  then Céline the french, Luis the mexican, Tatiana the portugese and David from Scotland.  The warm welcome from Jose, Pilar, Vitor and her friends who then brought us to the studio, the building for a first impression, and after to have some wine tasting.

Our mission : start the work on site. But before that, getting to know the project and thanks to Marta and Pedro from the previous team we were well mentored.

On Monday evening we met the architects, and had an overview of this part of team.

The second day we had the traditional  sidewalk in Porto organised by Pilar and Diana, which is always a good way to know a bit of the city, and even more of its weather since it was raining cats and dogs !!  After this i twas nice to meet the engineers in our dry and warm studio.

Our partner PIGMA had also prepared some brain food for us to know better the conservation work of old equipment.

And we are now well caught up with the (complex) BIM system since we had an interesting workshop.

Now it’s time to finish up the last drawings and to continue to improve the project which is already great thanks of the work for the previous teams ! We are all looking forward to going and working inside the building !

6th OPEN WORKING DAY report

After finishing the last OPEN WORKING DAY for our team and receiving needed feedback from all present parties, it is our pleasure to share our work with you.

 

  

 

 

  

 

 

 

Nothing would be the same without the input from all our partners. That’s why we would like to show the presentations from IQ Energy an d DIMSCALE, as a crucial part of the whole project.

Here is DIMSCALE's presentation :

Open it...carefully!

with lots of love

Keep calm and detail better

This blog post we want to thank you all for your interest and patience, it is a bit irresponsible to start every blog post with “we are sorry for being late”.

At the moment the final push for finishing the execution project is in action, we are consulting with the architects, engineers and all of the partners that are involved. So it is turbo speed! Special thanks to everyone involved that are working for this project to be possible!

meeting with Nuno from IQ Energy , Rita and Daniel

meeting with NCREP and the engineers

We would like to invite you to the 6^th OPEN WORKING DAY, which is going to happen on 4^th of September in Hotel Intercontinental at 10.00 a.m., come and be part of the “zoomed in” project review!

For those that are not able to come we promise loooong blog post with all the information and presentations.

So sorry for the silence period but it is going to be worth waiting!

Baking technical projects

Time runs so fast. Second OPEN WORKING DAY of our team is already finished. For the ones that were not there, we would like to share our presented work, with the addition of the issues that were discussed. 

The main points discussed were according to the pipes passing through the CABA structure and the need to integrate its secondary structure design and pipe work.  We should also preview the possibility of including dishwasher in CABA, not in the basic version, but to enable connections with pipes and electricity.

Check the possibility of replacing main beams of the structure below CABA on first floor for larger section with wider spacing, but yet this needs to be decided with NCREP and Bernardino Lima.

Our presentation was followed by DIMSCALE’s last survey, which refers more deeply to the materials needed for construction, and the prices of the same.

They presented a variety of solutions, which leads us to more precise definition of the project.

The following day we had a meeting with our partner PIGMA, a company which will be responsible for the restoration part, mainly on wooden elements which we have plenty!

In order to be more effective and to understand more closely what is the process of restoration and revitalization, the day after we were guests at PIGMA’s working project in Casa da Prelada.They made for us a very thrill tour through every part of the project that they are working on just to give us a preview of how our Reboleira house will look in a very short period of time.

thanks to Teresa & David

After the busy week we wanted to make a small celebration of the break moment by organizing a barbeque party, where all supporters and friends of Arrebita had a guest role in our Salgeiros neighborhood.

Have to say that we had a great time, smiling people, perfect barbeque masters and we will definitely make it again!

shiny happy people

Until the next week, have a great time!
