Horta da Cavalinho Neighborhood of economic houses - architect Eugénio Correia - 1945/50

In the year following the approval of the Vila de Olhão Urbanization Plan, the municipality aware of the problem of lack of housing in the village and taking advantage of the areas foreseen in the even for new economic neighborhoods, asked DGEMN for assistance in building a new neighborhood with 100 homes.

The project for the new neighborhood, located to the northeast of the village, in Horta da Cavalinha, was handed over to architect Eugénio Correia, in 1945, who could continue his work in Olhão, after the CPCP's Bairro de Casas Económicas, in 1936. The architect maintained the traces of the first neighborhood, as well as iconic features, including roof terraces with platibandas and exterior stairs with an arched passage, as well as the intention of garden spaces outside the house.

Different from the previous one was the introduction of houses with two floors, which were characterized by a pergola at the entrance to the house, and the street layout followed the provisions of the town's General Urbanization Plan.

The neighborhood was completed in 1950. Like all constructions in the Enomics House Plans, had to be low cost, with regional materials and techniques.
