Built on the ruins of an old 17th-century fort that took the name of a primitive chapel in honor of S. Roque, the house, commissioned by Carlos Francisco Ribeiro Ferreira, was designed by Raul Lino in 1902. greatly expanded in 1914, designed by the same architect.
The building, which in its genesis was smaller, had two bodies facing south: a transitional one, marked by a deliberate asymmetry of spans and another with a hipped roof, quite pronounced, suggesting the turret so typical of summer chalets , to which a large panoramic balcony adjoins, now glazed, facing the ocean.

From the 1914 intervention, the garages stand out, later transformed into houses, whose entrances are monumentalized by two tile panels, alluding to S. Roque and S. Cristóvão, work by the artist Pereira Cão. octagonal covered with a double roof and which the architect designated in his project as a pavilion attached to the main house.
The house expresses the models proposed by Raul Lino for the modern creation of the “Portuguese house”, affirmed in the fractionation of the bodies, reducing the multiplication of the facades and the roofs, in the porches, in the white of the facades marked by spans, of small dimensions, with moldings in stonework and the use of decorative tiles with compositions from religious records.
