House with the fish mosaic

Faro, Faro 8005-520, Portugal

Created By: ArchiTourAlgarve

Information

Nicely dimensioned back side with lifted terrace to the lagoon side. Modernist appearance due to the use of Cobogo - open bricks/blocks - side walls, the conically shaped columns that support the terrace and the beautiful staircase with loose beveled concrete steps balancing on a concrete beam.

The beautifully detailed fencing consisting of a tube construction with a steel mesh filling that refers to the railings of cruise ships as often used in the 1950s and before. The beautiful mosaic with the swordfish complements the back side in an appropriate way.
