Parque das Hortas

Architecture:  Pitagoras Group

It is located on a plot of land classified in the Guimarães Master Plan as Urban Land - Central Spaces and Special Protection Zone for the area defined by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its L-shape and volume are the result of the configuration of the land, the roads that define it and municipal constraints.

Location

Alfa Atlântica – Parque das Hortas

Its design, necessarily unitary and repetitive, is characterized by the grid of prefabricated concrete elements, with pigment, which, being striking, cross the entire volume, creating a rhythm and the uniform image that is intended.
This is a façade solution that reduces the volumetric impact and creates a reference in the image of the group that defines it. The building is composed of 21 housing units, with diverse typologies.
