Amoreiras Housing Complex

Lisbon, Portugal

With post-modern lines, this complex was of great importance in the 80’s due to its innovation, and was also a source of some controversy due to its imposition into the Lisbon landscape with its great height and volume. In truth, “the Amoreiras” as it is known is still a reference of the Portuguese capital’s skyline. Its rosy tone stands out with the darkened glass, in a contrast of geometry and materiality between the different tonalities of the plates of veined rose marble and the vertical columns of the dark windows.
