The use of Tiles is one of the strongest expressions of culture in Portugal.
Ceramic Tiles in Lusitanian lands surpass the utilitarian function, reaching the status of Art, as a poetic and artistic intervention in the development of cities and architecture, which lasts until today.
Aveiro is a city known for its canals, but also for its tile heritage. The Fonte Nova area was one of the three main national factories in tile production.
Currently, the district of Aveiro continues to stand out for its production in ceramics,
encompassing several production companies of national and international reference, with a great economic dimension, which combines new techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
The streets are countless examples of this art, a tradition of Aveiro that can be seen through its tiled houses. The Street of Gravito, next to the Beira-Mar neighborhood, is an example of the region’s connection to Ceramics and the location of the next Ponto Urbano Project.
The Tiles is an ode to the charms of ceramic tile art. A building with apartments of typologies T0 to T2, with areas between 38.92m² and 122.88m². Composed of a ground floor and two floors, The Tiles has parking spaces and balconies.
The building is located in the heart of Aveiro, enabling various amenities of a city lifestyle.
However, its residents can absorb the beauty and tranquility of the city, next to the canals of the river.
With a classic façade that promotes the traditional trait, The Tiles integrates with the surroundings of the location where it is inserted. Its interior, however, contrasts, presenting a modern and urban design, marked by soft and elegant textures.
For Ponto Urbano, preserving history through the maintenance of architectural and artistic heritage is a must.
Ponto Urbano presents as a foundation the respect and preservation of art, simultaneously creating architectural value, to transcending in projects that consider the surroundings and simultaneously are at the forefront of the trace.
