Spaceworkers adds red-concrete extension to repurposed granaries for Vila do Bispo Museum in Portugal

Summary

Portuguese architecture studio Spaceworkers has transformed a pair of historic granaries in Vila do Bispo into a museum, adding a striking red-concrete extension. The existing granaries were repurposed as exhibition spaces, while the new red-concrete volume houses technical, administrative, and social functions. The design contrasts the traditional vernacular stone granaries with a bold contemporary addition, creating a dialogue between old and new architectural languages.
