Description
This teahouse, a National Monument since 2011, emerges planted and anchored in the Boa Nova rocks, completing and adding value to the landscape that is highlighted by a chapel and a lighthouse that do not mimic or confront it. Getting near it and rising up is made through a staircase that goes along the several quadrants, between earth and sea. We access it in the centre that goes down vertically before getting into the two rooms. Over a base of reinforce concrete and a curtain of glass, the coverings that move and swing seem to levitate over the sea horizon. Different equipment like lamps, tables, and chairs designed by the author are integrated today in a restaurant of an awarded Portuguese chef. The mechanism that opens the windows surprises the visitors coming in. There is a framed poem by António Nobre – the Portuguese poet used to wander about the place.
