Rua do Almada was the first major street to be opened, in 1761, outside the Fernandine Walls. Known as the street of hardware stores, electrical and rubber stores, Rua do Almada was also the first street to have sidewalks. Rua do Almada has reinvented itself and is fashionable due to the shops, hotels and restaurants that have settled there.

The name is due to João Almada e Melo. He was Governor of Porto in the second half of the 18th century and played an extremely important role in the city's urban expansion.

According to what they say, he was largely responsible for the restructuring and organization of the space that we now call Baixa do Porto.

In addition to all this, João Almada e Melo was also a man of the arts, which is why he is considered to have been the forerunner of lyrical theater in Porto and even in Portugal. Despite not being born in Porto, the impact and influence he had in organizing the urban expansion of the city made his name eternal in the history of Invicta.

In this artery of the historic center of Porto, a building dating from the 19th century is reborn, of particular architectural beauty, which has been given a new look, while maintaining its original design. We are talking about a project made with passion, dedication, attention to detail, criteria and rigor in the details of the physical and naturalistic spaces that compose it, almost as if it had been made by a “house tailor”.

Inserted in this beautiful building, a housing unit is developed with a minimalist atmosphere conferred by the organization of the space and details accentuated by the furniture.

The atmosphere created produces an effect of lightness, generated by natural light, the considerable height of the apartment and the almost intentional and apparent careful disorganization of the garden, which gives it a unique mystique and energy.

This unique apartment, located on the 2nd floor of the rehabilitated building, is aimed at lovers of exclusivity.
