Description

The promenade architectural from the street level to the top of the tower, where a restaurant was placed, was the theme to explore. It is located in the historical center of the city of Guimarães which is characterized by its small scale. The duality between the old (city) and the new (building) was the challenge for the design of this tower. In this way, the building has the intention to adapt to the surroundings, while it grows in height.
