Building block Chaminé - Rua do Comercio no. 87

Contemporary apartments and commercial spaces on the ground floor around the corner. A characteristic pattern of Portuguese 'Suave' architecture from the 1960s.

Inclusion in the heritage context is often based on traditional stereotypical elements: Window/door openings in worked stone, bluestone balconies and horizontal moldings / roof overhangs covered with tiles (even if they are not necessary in the case of flat roofs, as here).

Interesting details such as the doorbells, the chimney through which you enter the restaurant and the beautiful natural stone with all kinds of shell motifs.....and when you go inside, don't forget to look up at the special ceiling.
