Campo de Ourique 70

A solid nucleus wherein living spaces were created

On analysing architectural features in the neighbourhood of Campo de Ourique, and seeking not to interfere with the homogenous design of the streets, we concluded that the project should break away from its surroundings.

Terrace, ambience

In the heart of Campo de Ourique, Lisbon, this project emerges as a distinctive multifamily residential building. A striking cubic volume stands apart from the base and the façade alignments of the neighbouring buildings, reinterpreting the characteristics of its surroundings. This core volume, made of white concrete, contrasts with the main structure, which is clad in textured dark stone, enveloping the base and the sides of the building. The building gains presence through two large, staggered voids at its vertex, corresponding to double-height terraces. These suspended patios, framed by wooden shutters, function as light boxes, oriented to balance privacy and solar exposure. They served as the starting point for organising the duplex apartments, structuring the interior spaces around these luminous voids.
