Erected between the intense urban dynamics of Campolide and the green hills of Monsanto, the Infinity Tower stands as a residential landmark in one of Lisbon's main gateways. With 26 floors above ground and comprising 195 apartments, the 80-meter height of the Infinity Tower makes it the tallest building in Lisbon.
Inserted in the Detailed Plan of Avenida José Malhoa, the plot is crossed by major road axes, railway infrastructure and intense metropolitan flows. Instead of imposing itself by force, the building responds to this condition with a clear and legible presence, capable of functioning both on the city scale and on the neighborhood scale.
Verticality is not understood as a gesture of isolation, but as a way of negotiating distance, visibility and orientation. The tower is, therefore, a contemporary marker that reinforces the urban identity of the area and, at the same time, dialogues with the natural horizon of Monsanto, mediating between movement and permanence, between infrastructure and housing.
The project's most intriguing aspect lies in its geometry: instead of a conventional floor plan, the building is designed as a cloverleaf with three articulated wings, forming a compact yet permeable volume. This form avoids the existence of a "main" facade - the rotation and spacing of the wings allow orientation, sun exposure, and views to guide the entire building's organization, and all apartments benefit from good light and expansive views - and reduces the feeling of mass of a tall building.
Continuous balconies and horizontal bands break the verticality, bringing scale and rhythm to the residential facade, while the glazing dematerializes the volume, reflecting the sky and landscape and opening the apartments to uninterrupted views over Lisbon, the Tagus Valley, and the green slopes of Monsanto.
