The increase in exports of Oport wine led to the founding of an institution to regulate and supervise its production. The new Instituto do Vinho do Porto acquired an old property to install its headquarters and to adapting it to its new role, was chosen the celebrated interior designer, Fiel da Fonseca Viterbo. Renowned for his exquisite taste and attention to detail, he planned and accompanied the whole work of remodeling and building decoration. For the interior, he conceived a decorative unit which unfolds in comfortable and bright environments, in the wake of the revival of English influence in the Adam style where reigns the symmetry and balance and where nothing was left to chance.
