The building is located in the historical center of Lagos, Rua do Jardim, Rua General Alberto da Silveira, Rua Dr. Júlio Dantas and Travessa da Coroa. It adjoins the four streets, with fronts built in all the above mentioned streets, forming a quarter. The existing buildings, were very degraded, without possibility of adaptation.
The complete demolition of existing buildings was authorized by Governmental Departments and the building was totally reconstructed. This Multi-Family Housing Building consists of 2 houses with 2 bedrooms and 11 houses with 3 bedrooms, for a total of 13 houses, spread over 3 floors, still contemplating a basement parking, gym, indoor and outdoor pool.
** Note: In the description above it is mentioned that this building is a reconstruction. I however believe this to be a misnomer. Street view imagery of the current building demonstrates that both the vertical massing as well as the window organization departs from adjacent structures.
Additionally, satellite photos shown below are self-evident regarding differences between the previous building and the newer structure.
