Located on the vibrant Avenida Almirante Reis, at number 74B, this building is situated on one of Lisbon's most emblematic arteries, in the area known as Anjos. Its central position offers an authentic perspective of Lisbon life, set within a dynamic and history-rich urban context.
This remarkable building is one of the most significant examples of the Art Nouveau style that flourished in Lisbon in the early 20th century. Its architecture represents a moment of innovation and modernity in the Portuguese capital's urban landscape, marking the introduction of new aesthetic languages at the time.
The building's façade is its most distinctive feature, a true work of art that captivates the eye of passers-by. It is entirely covered by a set of tiles with rich plant motifs, produced in 1911 by the renowned artist Alfredo Pinto. These ceramic panels, with their fluid and organic designs, are complemented by elaborate stonework and elegant wrought-iron elements, which together create a unique visual harmony and deeply characterize the Art Nouveau style.
The construction of this property was overseen by the architect Manuel Norte Júnior, a prominent figure in Portuguese architecture of his time, who knew how to infuse the project with the innovative essence of Art Nouveau. Its architectural and cultural importance is widely recognized, with the building being classified as a Building of Public Interest by Decree in 1978, a testament to its heritage value and its relevance in Lisbon's architectural panorama.
