The government announced yesterday that it has decided to grant a local architecture firm a contract for the design of its new youth recreational and activities centre in Praça do Tap Seac, which includes the demolition of the dilapidated Hotel Estoril and its adjacent Estoril Swimming Pool. According to the draft design announced yesterday, the famous mosaic on the hotel’s façade will, however, be kept intact.
The government hosted a press conference yesterday about its decision, in which representatives from a number of government entities and from the company – Chan Kam Architectural Design Company Limited – briefed the media about the draft design of the project.
According to the draft design, the future youth recreational and activities centre will include a public car park, recreational areas for young people, auditoria, a conservatory, and an all-season swimming pool with a retractable roof.
