Located in Boavista landfill, our project is surrounded by several landmarks such as miradouros, museums and art schools.
Our project is inspired by the composition of Fado music, a symbol of Portuguese culture and tradition.
Our rhythmic façade elements showcase the dynamism and fluidity of Fado music. The same rhythm is shown in our plans.
The main idea of our project is completed by having people living and interacting in our spaces.
That is because Fado living is the music of people.
3 outdoor theaters accessible to public form meeting spaces for people to practice and expose their art.
Our various workshops and commercial functions blend harmoniously within the musical landscape that reflects our fluid façades.
Apartments and co-living areas in the upper levels, offer interactive activities for residents and spaces to meet.
Hallways are composed of different common resting areas.
Our basements have two water tanks for rainwater collection.
Sustainable strategies and design solutions for our constraints:
