Revigrés Showroom
The showroom and offices serve a ceramic tile manufacturer and stand at the entrance to its factory site. The Portuguese architect composed a long, low white building from interlocking volumes.
A conical tower rising above the roof marks the entrance and draws light down into the space below, and round skylights pierce the ceilings of the exhibition rooms. The offices look out through long horizontal windows.
White render covers the exterior, and the volumes step and cantilever along the road, opening a small forecourt in front of the entrance.
