Acclaimed as one of the top eight sites of Macao, the Taipa Houses represents the charming Portuguese architectural style in Taipa. The Portuguese residences along Avenida da Praia, together with the neighbouring Our Lady of Carmel Church and the garden, comprise a picturesque landscape in which the five green houses stand out as the most representative.

「龍環葡韻」是澳門八景之一。「龍環」是氹仔舊稱，「葡韻」是指這裡葡萄牙建築風韻，包括海邊馬路的多座葡式住宅、嘉模教堂、公園等一帶如詩似畫的迷人景致，其中以五座碧翠凝綠的小型建築最具代表性。

These five houses, built in 1921, once served as the residences of senior civil servants, also namely Macanese families; in 1992, they were acknowledged as a building complex of architectural value. Later, the government decided to revamp the houses completely as a museum site, opened to the public at the end of 1999 as the ‘Taipa Houses-Museum’.

這幾座建築早於1921年落成，曾為高級官員官邸，也是具代表性的土生葡人住宅。1992年，該五座建築被評為具建築價值的建築群。經徹底修復後，政府將之改建成博物館區，名為「龍環葡韻住宅式博物館」，自1999年底起對外開放。
