Finalist in the 2026 National Real Estate Awards, in the Central Housing category.

 

The building located in the Avenidas Novas district in Lisbon, underwent a demolition and reconstruction process, resulting in a new eleven-story building. Three levels are dedicated to underground parking, while the remaining eight floors are allocated to residential use, comprising T1, T2 and T3 apartments, including several duplex units.

The large tree positioned in front of the building—whose preservation was a key condition from the outset of the project—guided all the design premises of the facade. The subtle variation in depth and length of the different volumes introduces a harmonious sense of movement, establishing a dialogue with the surrounding context. Large, glazed surfaces reflect and enhance the lush green setting, promoting a fluid relationship between interior spaces and the exterior. Inside, a restrained architectural language was adopted, characterized by the discreet presence of curved lines, sinuous forms and organic details, subtly integrated throughout the interior design, lending the spaces a serene and contemporary elegance.

In Avenidas Novas, the great tree becomes the center of the project — architecture grows facing nature, dialoguing with the city and the light.
