An Ever-Augmenting House grows in multiple ways. The unit is augmented with layering the wood, the same material connected with steel column to create surfaces. The use of livable space is augmented with shared compartments despite the restriction to retain 128 cubic meters for an apartment of four individuals. And lastly, the units are augmented with the aggregation allowing corridors and staircases as well as the commercial stores for public at large. This multi-housing mixed-use project that resides proximate to Marquês de Pombal—the busy commercial center of Lisbon between Rue Martens Ferrão and Rue Andrade Corvo—situates itself to integrate the two streets enhancing circulation.
