Located in Parque das Nações, next to Gare do Oriente, the building is set in one of the most dynamic areas of the Lisbon metropolitan area, offering a vast network of transport and services nearby.
It is based on this organized and dynamic urban network that the building draws its inspiration. The uneven negatives of the façade provide a diversity of views and experiences and are a portrait of these points of arrivals and departures, meetings and mismatches, that characterize the surrounding dynamics.
It is from these same openings that the monotony of the building’s volume is broken and exterior spaces are created, which privilege the views and the integration of green spaces.
The proposal consists of a new building properly insulated at the exterior roof level, interior floor, garage perimeter and exterior vertical envelope. In terms of external solar protection, the glazed areas will be protected through the placing of vertical blades strategically spaced, to reduce direct radiation into the building thus avoiding an excessive increase of energy consumption needed for cooling.
The combination of the glazed areas with external solar protection also allows for good natural lighting to penetrate the interior spaces. This permits drastically reducing the electricity consumption for lighting whilst avoiding unnecessary solar and internal gains during the cooling season.
