On May 23, M-ODU was officially unveiled, the new name of the Former Porto Slaughterhouse.
This project goes beyond a mere transformation; it is a disruptive reinvention that brings a new approach to the concept of living and working.
M-ODU brings together work, cultural and social areas in a single space, adapting to contemporary needs and promising a unique experience.
Designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma in collaboration with OODA, M-ODU was described as a “pioneering project”.
The project’s innovative vision is demonstrated by the harmonious integration of the building’s historic elements with modern functionality.
This care in preserving and restoring the original features of the Former Porto Slaughterhouse is evident, creating a space where history and the future intertwine in every restored wall.
A400 played a crucial role in the engineering of this transformative project, alongside Mota-Engil.
Collaboration with the architecture team led by Kengo Kuma and OODA ensured that M-ODU became a symbol of innovation and urban revitalisation.
As M-ODU takes shape, anticipation is growing to see this project come to life and inject new energy into the heart of the city of Porto.
The magic of this revitalised space promises to bring a new dynamic to the city, reflecting the commitment to preserving architectural memory while embracing the future.
A400’s dedication and commitment to preserving the building’s memory while implementing innovations were decisive in turning M-ODU into a benchmark for urban renewal, promising to enrich the city’s cultural and social fabric.
