Edifício Dourado, Art Deco residential building in Graça, Salvador, Brazil.
Edifício Dourado is a residential building in the Art Deco style located in Graça, completed in 1938. Its facade displays geometric patterns and ornamental details arranged in a balanced composition typical of the architectural era.
Architect Arézio Fonseca designed the structure in 1935, making it the first apartment building of its type in Salvador. It marked a shift in residential architecture as modern living spaces began transforming the city.
The building remains a residence today and reflects the Art Deco style that emerged in Salvador during the 1930s. Visitors can observe the geometric patterns and symmetrical details on the facade that shape the neighborhood's visual character.
The building is located on Euclydes da Cunha Avenue in Graça and can be viewed from the street. Morning visits work well for observing the facade details as natural light enhances the ornamental elements.
The building contains one of Salvador's oldest functioning elevators, equipped with manual doors from its original 1938 installation. The elevator rarely operates today but represents the technological advances that transformed residential living in the city.
