The building at Rua do Benformoso, number 244, stands as an example of the civil architecture that punctuates Lisbon's urban landscape.

Common formal elements of many buildings of this typology in Lisbon are observed, contributing to the street's aesthetic cohesion.
The attention to detail in its construction reflects the techniques and materials used at the time of its erection, granting it a discreet but significant presence in Socorro's architectural panorama. It is a mirror of residential evolution and the city's adaptation to the needs of its inhabitants over time.
As an integral part of the Socorro neighborhood, the building benefits from an urban context that narrates Lisbon's popular history. Its existence on this particular street contributes to preserving the character of an area that has witnessed many of the city's social and cultural transformations. It is an element that harmonizes with the local atmosphere, a blend of tradition and multiculturalism, reflecting the vibrancy and identity of a neighborhood with deep roots in the Portuguese capital.
