Building licence granted for Cinco District at Carnaxide, Portugal
A building licence has been granted for the Cinco District mixed-use development at Carnaxide, near Lisbon.
The focus of the 40,000m2 GBA development will be an 80-metre-tall, 20-floor office tower, which will house a striking LED display and a vertical garden. The project will include a 7,000m² green terraced roof on the office podium building. The scheme will also include a 4-Star Marriott Hotel, restaurants and 1,100 parking spaces.
Workspaces will extend into the green space via open terraces throughout the complex, seamlessly linking the interior and exterior spaces. The BREEAM-certified development will offer 40 charging stations for electric vehicles, efficient lifts, solar power, LED lighting technology and other smart systems for environmental efficiency.
The green areas will also host an events venue, which will function as the heart of the complex. This square, open to all, including the local community, will be a lively and dynamic space that will host a range of events and cultural initiatives.
Chapman Taylor, in collaboration with local architects BOOST – Architecture Studio, created the design for Cinco District.
