Originally designed as a small, hotel poolside bar, the design for Ginkgo Lounge in Portimao, Portugal, by architect Tiago Rosado demanded more – more size, more space, more style. This contemporary structure is impressive for its unique indoor/outdoor layout, and even more so due to the fact that it’s one of Rosado’s first designs. A bold, while border frames the entrance to the long, rectangular space. An alfresco seating area leads to the structure’s front facade – a wall of windows. Inside, the expansive glazing creates a sense of the outdoors, enhanced by the spring-green color scheme. Tiago Rosado
