Located in one of Marvila’s most promising neighbourhoods, adjacent to Vale Formoso and enjoying a prime location close to the River Tagus, this development stands out not only for its scale, but also for the thoughtful way it responds to the real needs of its residents, particularly families.
The construction of Parcel A – Cooperativa Vale Formoso comprises 63 carefully designed two, three and five-bedroom apartments, arranged across east- and west-facing buildings to maximise natural daylight throughout the day. However, the project’s true distinguishing feature extends far beyond the residential units themselves.
One of the development’s key highlights is the integration of a modern nursery, designed to meet highly specific and demanding requirements – an increasingly valued amenity for those seeking a high quality of life in Lisbon.
The nursery has been designed to provide:
- Wide, uninterrupted visibility, ensuring effective supervision and the safety of children.
- Child-friendly sanitary facilities, designed with ergonomics and functionality in mind.
- A fully equipped commercial kitchen, capable of efficiently catering for daily meals while meeting the highest standards of quality and food safety.
Transferred to the municipality, the nursery occupies its own dedicated building (Block D), with independent access and direct integration into the development, offering a practical solution that is highly valued by modern families.
The residential building is arranged across two above-ground volumes, served by three vertical circulation cores that ensure efficient access and accessibility. At basement level, a private car park connects all blocks, providing convenience for residents.
The structural solution is based on reinforced concrete with solid flat slab construction, ensuring robustness, durability and spatial flexibility. Advanced engineering solutions were also adopted for the foundations and retaining structures, including a Berlin-type retaining wall system, providing stability even with up to two basement levels.
