Edifício Náutico
Edifício Náutico
Edifício Náutico is a commercial and residential complex in the
centre of Cascais, a town on Portugal’s Atlantic coast.
The facade calls to mind the patterns on traditional Portuguese
ceramics. Here, they form the sun baffles that work like curtains
to preserve privacy and protect from the sun. The structure’s blue
colour is a reference to the ocean on whose edge Cascais stands.
The ground floor is a reinterpretation of the porticos the city is known
for, with a ceiling that undulates like ocean waves. On each of the
portico pillars, there are two Geko 6.1 double-beam wall-mounted
fixtures that emit both direct and indirect light with a customized
combination of optics: 7° for the direct light and 70° for the indirect
light. The 2400K colour temperature is also customized – the
stylistic hallmark of the lighting in the entire structure.
