Description
Originally conceived to receive four studios for young artists, this building is today the headquarters of the National Association of Football Coaches. Grounded in one of the platforms and granite walls over the east entrance of the Ribeira tunnel, this metallic construction denounces the proximity to the Lada elevator, its contemporary, and the D. Luís Bridge. Its discreet presence makes the view that the glass rooms and balcony offer over the Douro river even more surprising.
