Casa Portuguesa #1
A house on Av. Kim Il Sung (before: Rua General Rosado) with many elements unique to the style of Portuguese architecture such as a tiled roof; verandah and visor which prevent harsh sunlight from entering the house. Projects conceived from the 1930s onward were based on an accumulated knowledge of the climates. The style is found all over the Portuguese colonies such as Angola and Mozambique where architecture had started to become climate responsive.
A document released at Docomomo Portugal provides interesting history on the development of climate specific architecture
