*레트로 디자인, 게스트 하우스 [ Emanuel de Sousa ] ROSA ET AL

여행의 시작과 끝. 루아 로사리오(ROSA ET AL)게스트 하우스는 포루투칼 예술지구 중심부, 작은 빈티지&인디 상점들이 즐비한 아트 갤러리 거리 한켜에 위치한다. 19세기 타운하우스를 리노베이션한 게스트 하우스는 장소성이 새겨진 건축물에 대한 존중을 시작으로 (기존 건축어휘를 최대한 활용) 현대 거주생활을 위한 최소한의 개입을 진행한다. 자연 재료; 나무소재 바닥재와 하얀 캔버스 같은 벽은 레트로& 빈티지 공간의 바탕이 되며, 현대적인 디자인 요소와 디테일이 접목된다.  과거와 현재가 혼재된 공간, 모던함 속에 레트로 이미지가 강하게 풍기는 하우스는 이곳, 포루투칼을 여행하는 사람들에게 매력적인 장소로 제공될 것이다.

Right in the heart of Porto's artistic district, not far from the city’s premier art-gallery strip, is the up-and-coming Rua do Rosário, a road peppered with little vintage and indie design stores. This is also the location of ROSA ET AL, a hip urban refuge occupying an exquisitely restored townhouse that opened its doors in August 2012. The brainchild of owners Patricia and Emanuel de Sousa (architect Emanuel de Sousa oversaw the ROSA ET AL Townhouse restoration), the discreet guesthouse sits next to once-faded townhouses that are now being brought back to life with promising designers, upscale food shops and exciting concept stores that are moving into the surrounding area.

Outside, only a small marking on the door gives any indication of what awaits inside: a 19th century building upgraded with modern luxury features in a fresh space that truly respects its past. Once inside, next to the tiny reception, guests and visitors can buy goods from the specialty store that sells Portuguese wines, gourmet products and a selection of design books, while further inside there is also a coffee shop and restaurant as well as an outdoor patio and garden area where ROSA ET AL’s special Bazaar Brunch is served, based on organic, locally-sourced fresh ingredients and home-made dishes.

Homey and unconventional, ROSA ET AL consists of just 6 spacious veranda suites where original wooden beams, plasterwork ceilings and preserved architectural details are combined harmoniously with mid-century furniture by design legends of the likes of Jean Prouvé, Hans Wegner, and Charles and Ray Eames. Set against a backdrop of natural materials, wooden floors and white walls, the perfect canvas is provided for the different decades of interior design that blends together vintage, modern and contemporary details.

{Yatzer Tip} This summer, ROSA ET AL is expanding with two additional accommodation options. Guests will soon be able to stay at the Garden Pavillion, ideal for those who want to be close to nature, or the Serviced Loft, a bright, one-bedroom modern apartment right in the heart of Porto’s historical centre.
