White rendered volumes catch the light off the water, their edges sharp against a sky rinsed clean by the ocean. Granite holds the older streets together, blue tile climbs the facades, and rationalist lines cut through the hillside without raising their voice. A port city that reads as museum, riverbank, and workshop at once, luminous and restrained.
Granite walls, azulejo tile, and ocean light falling across a river city built in white and stone.
