Information

Apartments - Avenida Calouste Gulbenkian - 2002

Urban apartment block in eight floors with commercial spaces/shops on the ground floor beside one of Faro's major access roads. Fine-meshed interplay of balcony elements with cutouts and glass infills. Aluminum box profiles and balcony walls perpendicular to the facade with shadow beams as a subtle finish.

Composition of closed and open facade surfaces in various materials and topped with wide roof moldings. The connecting bridge with the other side of the ring road gives the building even a more urban dynamic, as if it were a castle accessible via a footbridge. Rais in case of danger....Go and have a look from the pedestrian bridge to see everything in full glory and try to find the Pires & Brito logo in the pavement.
