Burgo Tower

The building lot is located in the area where the Boavista Avenue ceases to be a through street and fragments itself into discontinuous sections.
The solution consists of a levelled platform which incorporates two close volumes but with different scales.
A low building, ribbon-like, is more related with the anonymity of the surroundings.
The tower, set back from the Avenue, rises up from the platform, longing for other architectures to follow.
