Casa das Retortas, Industrial heritage building in Brás District, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Casa das Retortas spans 10,900 square meters and features brick walls, French tiles, and metal structural supports in its pavilions.
The building, constructed in 1889, served as part of the São Paulo Gas Company complex, processing coal imported from England for city lighting.
The structure now transforms into a Fashion and Gastronomy Museum, reflecting the commercial identity of the Brás district and Municipal Market area.
The renovation project includes new pedestrian pathways, an internal street system, and additional facilities for improved public access to the museum.
The retorts, which give the building its name, were specialized vessels used for coal combustion in São Paulo's first public lighting system.
