The “Fraldinhas” watch was created by Swatch in the context of a solidarity campaign whose main goal was to offer a new home fo the “Ajuda de Berço” society (a non-profit organization that takes care of abandoned babies and small children).The new house was inaugurated the 8th July of 2004, being the result of the refurbishing of a set of rundown rural dwellings, offered by  the Lisbon City Hall.

The architecture proposal merges the set of dwellings into just one house, but  keeps the outer facades design.The new house is now divided in three major areas: the administrative area, the central area and the babies area, with three different colours in the corresponding outer facades (blue, yellow and red).

In the inside, next to the courtyard (an open air playgound for children), a new solid volume appears, coated with copper.
