Municipal Architecture Prize in Coimbra

The rehabilitation of the former A Ideal Factory in Coimbra has recently been awarded the Municipal Architecture Prize, a recognition that values the work of preserving industrial heritage and the ability to transform it for the benefit of the community.

The building, which currently houses the Coimbra Residential Care Home, keeps alive the memory of the city's industrial past, integrating seamlessly into the urban fabric and providing modern responses to social needs. This project is an example of how responsible and creative intervention in historical heritage can generate a positive impact on the community, promoting functional, inclusive spaces that are rich in history.

The prize highlights ACA's commitment to projects that combine innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility, transforming the legacy of the past into value for the present and future of cities.
