A recent winner in the American Architecture Prize, the Three Cusps Chalet is a very peculiar building in Braga, Portugal’s third-largest city. It documents the region’s history and diaspora, and combines typical 19th century Portuguese architecture and urban design with an unexpected alpine influence.

This influence was brought by an historic wave of rich Portuguese returning from Brazil in the 1800s who had been significantly influenced by Central Europeans building Brazil’s second industrial revolution.
