LISBON

Office masterplan, Lisbon, Portugal. While at KPF, Louis was responsible for the façade design and massing of six office buildings.

The stepped massing strategy was informed by Lisbon’s terraced urban landscape, creating a sequence of gardens and pause spaces at multiple levels throughout the buildings. This approach echoes the rhythm of everyday urban life in the city.

The material palette draws directly from the surrounding cityscape, ranging from red terracotta and precast concrete to natural stone. Together, these elements were conceived as an extension of Lisbon itself, embedding the architecture within its local context.
