The building of the Palacete do Relógio, located on the flank of the Cais do Sodré square facing the Tagus, is a small set that includes a clock with the official time and the villa itself, all built in the early twentieth century, in the early years of Republic, to built this house of the headquarters of the Lisbon Port, that was design at a late "Beaux Arts" style.
After several decades of service, and after the administration of the Lisbon Port where transfer elsewhere, this building was abandoned several years before the decision in the middle of the last decade, of the rehabilitation and arrangement of this whole area to install the European agencies, a new general project that done by Manuel Tainha.
The Palace, in general, has a central role in this new square open to the Tagus river, among the eastern side the new European Maritime Safety Agency EMSA, and in western side of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction EMCDDA. The main programmatic functions of the Palace, are supporting spaces of both agencies, especially the EMCDDA, such as technical spaces, working offices and meeting rooms, with special emphasis the restaurant / canteen installed on the roof, and floors in your kitchen low.
The project strategy is relatively simple to explain, although complex to build. The central idea arose from the structure of the abandoned building, with its central atrium double height ceiling, from here has recovered and deepened this idea, adding more height and redesigned the entire set up of the general fragment, were introduced two lifts of iron and glass, one inside and one on the outside atrium facing the square and the Tagus.
Regarding the choice of materials and colors, the idea was to make a reinterpretation of the comfort and character, of some discreet Beaux Arts style. In this sense and to dramatize this strategy, we chose reduce the exterior color, in white, black and gray, and chose color to the interior spaces.
