From render to reality

BOAVISTA 339
The creative process is ultimately a reasoning process, and as such it must be coherent. Since a building is the crystallisation of a creative team's ideas, the interior and exterior of a building must express that same coherence in every detail.

Arches are the shape that best adapts to the human body. This creates a more pleasant and empathic sense of space.

BOAVISTA 339

Architecture is essentially a canvas for life. It is the experiences of everyday life that bring the inert materials of construction to life. The facade of Boavista 339 was designed to be transformed by the arbitrariness of daily use, thus redesigning the facade every day.

THE VIEW

In architecture, as in nature, the integration of new organisms is only fully realised when it respects and correlates with the original surroundings

THE VIEW

Between the main buildings, a square defines the moment of entry and guarantees a protected space to be experienced

THE VIEW II
The design of the buildings was based on two basic premises. Views from all the apartments and the best possible volumetric integration into the cliff

THE VIEW 2

By integrating nature into buildings, we can enhance the well-being and health of occupants, create sustainable and energy-efficient spaces, support biodiversity, and foster a deeper connection with the natural world. This integration allows buildings to become more than just functional structures but also nurturing environments that promote human well-being and environmental stewardship.

We are honored to announce that SPARK – Matosinhos received an Honorable Mention in the Sustainable Architecture category of Prémios Verdes, being the only project mentioned and awarded in this category.

Prémios Verdes are an initiative of Revista Visão and Grupo AdP - Águas de Portugal that aim to reward individuals, companies and organizations that stand out in Portugal for their work in the environmental field.

SPARK Matosinhos began to take shape in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, where issues such as the transformation and revolution of the workspaces and environmental sustainability were at the forefront of office building concerns.

SPARK Matosinhos is the result of a joint vision with Castro Group, achieving the goal to connect people, sustainability, technology and well being in the same building.

This prize rewards the effort and work of all the teams involved in this project.

We're honoured to have our office, represented by our lead architect and founder Paulo Merlini, present at the "Home Summit" debate forum of the 3rd edition of Portugal Home Week, to be held in Alfandega do Porto, on June 15.
