Information

A contemporary, large (nine-storey) multi-family and commercial residential building whose architectural composition is characteristic of the current production of income housing in the 1960s. Architect Manuel Gomes da Costa (or imitation)

Using a limited number of elements from the modern and simplified lexicon: balconies 'on bookcase' that completely define the facade over the avenue, consisting of an orthogonal impact of vertical elements (dividing points, pillars hidden in leaves, sliding panels for sliding panels) and horizontal elements (balcony curtains, aluminum beams to support the awnings)

Built-in floor with a flap structure and in line with the balcony surface, which crowns the constructed volume.
