About the project:

The project took place in an old warehouse, inside a block in the historic center of Olhão. A fishing town, with a strong Islamic influence, it presents an irregular and organic mesh of narrow streets and overlapping constructions, of recognized (cubist) volumetry.

The existing 2-storey building, high ceilings, vaulted ceilings and roof terrace, fits into the typology of popular architecture, which is intended to preserve, enhance and adapt.

This point of interest is part of the tour: ArchiTourAlgarve - Cubist Architecture Walking Tour - Olhão
