This building, designed by civil engineer J. Belchior, in one of the main access roads to Olhão, the Rua 18th Junho is a typical building produced by non-architects.
It looks like a standard residential building with commercial spaces and has an orthogonal grid that is partly filled with panels of different materials, textures and transparency and is used as a second skin for the building.
On the ground floor the angled shopping windows and the "flashy" door fittings reminds us of prints from a comic strip.
