This beautiful building which opened in 2009 was designed by the architect Eduardo Souto de Moura and is called Casa das Histórias Paula Rego / Paula Rego – House of Stories. The twin chimneys of the Casa das Historias are inspired by chimneys at Sintra Palace and made from concrete that is coloured to reflect local terracotta, and shuttered with planks of timber in a herringbone pattern. Did concrete ever look so good?
