Information

Building - Rua Manuel Ascensão 42 - 1995

Spacious L-shaped apartment block of five floors with business premises and garages on the ground floor. On one side with staggered balconies where the concrete beams pass each other at the end and could make you think lightly of the furniture designs of Dutch "Stijl" architect Rietveld.

A dynamic and subtle play of horizontal concrete surfaces & beams, glass panels, flower boxes and shade grilles. On the other side a slightly 'just not' symmetrical facade with balconies that - again in a completely different way - jump back to the sides.
