This residential building will have 26 floors above ground and will consist of 195 apartments with types ranging from the T0 to the T5 duplex. Its 80-metre height will make it one of the tallest buildings in Lisbon. Located in Campolide, it will offer a panoramic view over the city, specifically Monsanto, Lisbon and the river Tagus. Its clover-shaped layout branches from the central core into three arms spread widely over the city. Each wing is diverse in the organisation of apartment types, a result of the variation of the views and the level of sun exposure.

With modern and elegant lines, the height is modelled with art and ingenuity in a design that is free of sharp edges, softening the immense bulk of the structure against the skyline and emphasising the vertical axis. The final image is fluid and almost paradoxical in its simplicity. Some landscaped terraces punctuate the tower, humanising it. The project focusses on creating dwellings of excellence, without concessions.
