Edifício designado «Bloco das Águas Livres», Residential building in Santa Isabel, Portugal
The Bloco das Águas Livres is a twelve-story residential building with 56 apartments of varying sizes spread across eight floors. The structure also contains spaces for offices, artist studios, and event venues woven into its design.
The building was designed in 1956 by architects Nuno Teotónio Pereira and Bartolomeu Costa Cabral during a period of major urban transformation in Lisbon. It represents a modernist approach to city living in Portugal during the twentieth century.
The building displays artwork by Portuguese artists throughout its shared spaces. These pieces blend daily life with creative expression and shape how the place feels when you move through it.
The building sits near Rato metro station, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Inside, elevators and galleries connect the different residential areas and help visitors navigate the layout.
The building functions as a vertical community, mixing residential space with artist studios and event venues. This combination created an unusual approach to city living that made room for creative work and neighborly connection.
