Adro

The Adro housing project, designed by MASSLAB, is located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal. This project won a competition by combining housing with public spaces, addressing the lack of affordable housing and outdoor spaces in residential buildings. The project includes three new housing blocks with 100 dwellings, commercial areas, and two public spaces: a lush green garden and a paved square. Key features of the project include: - **Integration with the existing urban framework**: The buildings are designed to seamlessly integrate with the historic surroundings, enhancing the urban experience. - **People-oriented design**: The project emphasizes the importance of public spaces, promoting pedestrian circulation and transparency in commercial areas. - **Sustainable design principles**: The proposal incorporates passive strategies such as rain gardens and tree-lined edges to reduce visual and noise exposure. - **Enhanced urban living**: The project aims to create a living environment tailored to individual needs, setting a new standard for urban living. The Adro project is a significant contribution to Lisbon's urban landscape, focusing on creating a better everyday life for both people and the planet.
