Cascais In this project, several 18th-century albarradas were integrated into the exterior. The access stairs were also clad in white tiles and 18th-century tile borders. Albarradas (flower vases) are tile compositions depicting vases filled with flowers and fruits. They were most often found on the exterior of palaces, noble residences, and monasteries, particularly in gardens and cloisters. On the front-facing columns of the house overlooking the sea, several panels with 18th-century geometric elements were installed, along with a central panel featuring a flower vase, dated 1865.
