The Ricardo Pampuri building, which is part of the Casa de Saúde do Telhal, in Sintra, is made up of three distinct construction phases, the first being the north wing, followed by the construction of the church on the east wing. Finally, the south and west wing, forming a 45-metre quadrangle, with interior central cloisters, 17 metres in length on each side.
The immediate surroundings of the building is made up of, to the north an access road; to the east a garden with a wooded to be preserved; to the south, a yard bound by an ensemble of building (old vivariums); and to the west, by the main church.

[-]subtraction
The annexes that were not part of the original construction were removed, the dividing walls were removed to obtain a a set of large naves that are connected to each other, the upper floor of the cloisters is removed.

[+]addition
A wooden veranda is added to the north side of the cloisters, 14 cells, a chapel, the white that covers the entire building, the wood with which the whole exhibition system and furniture is made which configures the new spaces within the new naves.

[re]utilize
Building this museum and residence implies the [re]utilization of a place that today is not prepared for that use, time has removed that clarity. [re]utilizing mainly implies subtracting to find a clear structure that easily houses these new uses.
