Information

Single-family residential architectural complex. Economic housing for state public promotion (FFH / Operation SAAL). Medium-sized complex, made up of single-family townhouses with one floor and two floors with a patio at the back, forming blocks.

May 15 1974: The First Provisional Government takes office. In July architect Nuno Portas, then Secretary of State for Housing and Urbanism, presents the "Program of priority actions to be considered by the services of the Housing Development Fund".

This program sought to define an action policy for Housing, aimed at the most needy populations, but with the capacity for self-organization, granting the State help in the implementation of new relocation neighborhoods, infrastructures, technical support and financing; the Local Ambulatory Support Service (SAAL) presupposed either the assessment of potential locations for "self-construction" operations and the possibility of a credit system granted by the FFH to groups of residents or cooperatives.

The preparation of technical personnel to manage the local, unemployed, or volunteer labor, to form Construction, Sanitation and Urbanization Brigades; 24 June - after the II Provisional Government took office, the architect Nuno Teotónio Pereira develops the "Interpretive Study of the Objectives to Pursue through the SAAL", in which it is established that the support given by the FFH, extended to the entire national territory, excluded the areas of the Integrated Plans, under its responsibility (Monte da Caparica, Zambujal, Setúbal, Aveiro, Matosinhos, Guimarães).

Homes type T2 and T3 with the possibility of expansion in the future.
