Casa dos Laranjais features residential architecture from different historical periods, including the 17th, 18th, and Revival styles.
The building has a quadrangular tower of medieval origin, with three floors and battlements at the top. The tower's facades are adorned with bay windows and other straight windows.
Next to the tower, there is a longitudinal body with two and three floors. On the ground floor, facing south, there are wide access doors to the shops. On the upper floor, straight bay windows offer a panoramic view.
The east-facing facade features two Manueline portals, typical of the Manueline architectural style. On the upper floors, neo-Manueline revivalist elements can be found.
The adaptations made in the 17th and 18th centuries gave Casa dos Laranjais its current configuration, combining historical elements with influences from the architectural styles of the time.
