In a residential area of Cascais, two multi-family housing buildings are born, composed of seven floors that comprise 40 autonomous units of varied typologies.
Although occupying separate plots and different in terms of their area and volume, the two buildings that make up the complex orientate views to the south/southeast through a set of oblique vertical planes which vary in size over the various floors. These openings are rhythmically interrupted by exposed concrete slabs, giving the volumes a particular materiality, especially on the side façades. To the rear, the openings are narrower and more discreet, punctuated by the setting back of the balconies.
Although these are buildings of considerable height and area, they possess a certain lightness provided by the hollowing of the ground floors and the setback of the upper floors.
The common exterior spaces are dominated by vegetation, with an entire patio of gardened spaces articulated with an accessible pedestrian pathway.
