Building at Largo Sebastiãu Martins Mestre no. 6

Olhão, Faro 8700-379, Portugal

Created By: ArchiTourAlgarve

Information

Contemporary multi-family and commercial residential building with apartments on the first floor and commercial spaces on the ground floor. The architectural language of the building is characteristic of the architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, combining Art Deco inspiration with the first period of modernism.

See, for example, the zigzag decorations of the balcony railings and the transition between the facade surfaces. The recesses of the platibanda or the structure of the 'mirant' with a rounded front, reminiscent of the structure of a boat. Color plays an important role in the differentiation of the building elements.
