Cascais 25

Humberto Conde Arquitetos as Architects

The Cascais 25 building is located in the Center of Cascais on Avª 25 Abril, one of the main arteries of the village. The project is characterized by the different slabs | Platforms balanced over the boundary of the dwellings and the suspended gardens created in them. The idea is to create apartments with a strong relationship with the surroundings and that, at the same time, enjoy green balconies and terraces in order to have a way of living linked to nature and the good weather conditions of the place. The apartments are blocks of organic shape that throughout its perimeter relate to the exterior, through large glass surfaces. The plant element is thus included as a technical element: vines grow on walls and between the slabs and the vegetation creates shading over the apartments.

On the terraces, appropriate plants are used that value the project, not only landscapely and/or for purely aesthetic reasons, but also contribute to soften/improve the urban environment and also regulate the climate.
