. jAlbum 38.2 Braga, Portugal – 2025. The Fuller Center for Housing Portugal, partnering with a Portuguese charity, Associação Humanitária Domus is converting a former industrial workshop into a six-unit apartment building. The build site is in Tadim which is a small parish located within the larger municipality of Braga in Northern Portugal. Our team spent a week doing various jobs in the interior of the building but primarily working on one exterior wall which required some repair work and mounting Styrofoam insulation. slides/JEM_1296.JPG Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 Tropical Restaurante, our meeting place in Porto, Portugal Tropical Restaurante, our meeting place in Porto, Portugal slides/JEM_1296.JPG slides/20250914_155320.jpg Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 Our build team and the Fuller cycling team in Porto waiting for the bus to take us all to Domus House in Braga, Portugal Our build team and the Fuller cycling team in Porto waiting for the bus to take us all to Domus House in Braga, Portugal slides/20250914_155320.jpg slides/JEM_1342.JPG Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 The basic plans and artist rendering of the Fuller Center building project in Braga, Portugal The basic plans and artist rendering of the Fuller Center building project in Braga, Portugal slides/JEM_1342.JPG slides/JEM_1345.JPG Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 Artist’s rendition of the finished building of the Fuller Center building project in Braga, Portugal Artist’s rendition of the finished building of the Fuller Center building project in Braga, Portugal slides/JEM_1345.JPG slides/JEM_1343.JPG Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 Plan for the ground floor apartments for the Fuller Center building project in Braga, Portugal Plan for the ground floor apartments for the Fuller Center building project in Braga, Portugal slides/JEM_1343.JPG slides/JEM_1318.JPG Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 The old and yet to be completed part of the Fuller Center project in Braga, Portugal The old and yet to be completed part of the Fuller Center project in Braga, Portugal slides/JEM_1318.JPG slides/JEM_1352.JPG Sun, 28 Dec 2025 20:07:01 -0700 Outer walls that have been completed.
