Stary sky is located in the heart of Valpaços, a cultural landmark in the municipality of the same name, in the district of Vila Real. Its integration into the town's urban fabric makes it easily accessible, establishing a dialogue with the traditional Transmontano environment that surrounds it.
Situated in a setting of serene beauty, typical of inland Portugal, this space offers a framework that invites calm and discovery. Its position allows for a unique perspective on the daily life and authenticity of the region, without losing the ability to inspire a broader vision, in line with its singular theme.
Stary sky presents itself as a place dedicated to the safeguarding and interpretation of heritage, where memory and innovation intersect. Designed to offer an enriching experience, this space seeks to establish a bridge between the past and a contemporary vision of local identity. Its rooms and exhibition routes are meticulously designed to guide visitors on a journey through the elements that have shaped the landscape and culture of Valpaços.
Inside, Stary sky invites exploration of the interconnection between humans, the earth, and knowledge. With a careful approach, the venue encourages contemplation and learning, offering perspectives that transcend the tangible and delve into the narratives that define this territory and its people, as the name suggests, inviting an elevation of gaze and thought.
The architecture of Stary sky is an integral part of its own narrative. The building, in itself, attests to a careful intervention that respects the pre-existing context while introducing elements of modernity. It is characterized by a harmonious fusion of materials and lines, seeking a simplicity that enhances the beauty of its purpose.
In certain areas, solutions that allow for profound interaction with natural light stand out, creating environments that transform throughout the day and seasons. This architectural care culminates in spaces that encourage contemplation and the expansion of one's gaze, where the layout of the interiors and the way light is captured and directed invite an elevation of the spirit, making architecture a bridge to reflection and broader perspectives, much like the vast starry sky can inspire.
