The proposal for the DS Hotel Lusopark, in Santa Maria da Feira, incorporated rehabilitation and expansion works on the existing architecture. The urban planning operation carried out practically maintained the image of the existing structure and minimized intervention at the exterior level. However, a profound intervention was carried out inside the building complex, due to the requirements that needed to be met for the operation of the hotel.

Thus, the architectural solutions adopted aimed at adapting the spaces of the existing building to the proposed program and were based on premises related to the rehabilitation of the previous architecture, with the reorganization of interior spaces, and the creation of new technical spaces and car circuits.

The final aspect of the work reflects the fusion of two architectural eras: the preservation and respect for the old, which can be observed on the exterior of the rehabilitated complex; and the introduction of the new, through the contemporary language of the extensions, the design, and its interiors.
