Ginko Lounge
March 23rd, 2009 | Published in Architecture | 3 Comments | by Fifi
Ginkgo Lounge is located in Portim√£o, Portugal and it’s a very stylish and sunny Restaurant & Lounge. The place is a perfect spot for travelers and locals. The design of the building is very simple, but at the same time spectacular.
Ginko Lounge offers amazing green atmosphere inside and out. The restaurant is surrounded by greenery and makes sense of an eco house. Portimao is a city, where the sun is shining almost every day. The city is also known as Vila Nova de Portim√£o.
In 1924 it was incorporated as a city and became known as Portim√£o. The city proper has 45,000 inhabitants and the entire municipality 52,000.
Portim√£o is also a city with great sporting events. It is here, that in the summer, the Mundialito de Futebol de Praia of Beach Football. Even the Rally Lisbon-Dakar goes through this city, where you can also see Surf and Kitesurf.

Good building lines but it would have been better if they would have worked with a Landscape architect and done a green roof, which not only will reduce the amount of run off but also complement the looks of the building making it warmer. It is a flat roof that covers a large area so they also could have captured rain water and use it for irrigation.
