NOGUEIRA Building

NOGUEIRA building (Mango Shop)

Rua de Santo Antonio 68

Built in 1966. Arq. Manuel Gomes da Costa (MGdC). South Modernist.

6 floors building made of shops at street level and offices in upper levels. This construction is an example of the new generation of large offices buildings spead accross europe and the USA in the 1960 and 1970’s.

The use of pilotis visible at street level gives a South American touch. MGdC created in the facade some decorative sun breaks in aluminium which was quite unusual at that time.
