Risco was invited, in partnership with Betar end EACE, to participate in a contest for the project of a new office and residential building in Avenida 25 Setembro, Maputo, promoted by Eaglestone Asset Management. The Risco proposal was selected for the final shortlist, but did not win.
The objective was to build an iconic and highly efficient office building with GBA between 40.000 and 52.000 sqm.
Due to soil limitations, all parking is located above ground. This will mean a “big box” occupying almost all the plot. On top of this “box”, other “boxes” create the necessary leasable area for offices and residence. Between them, spacious terraces and common spaces (health club, cafeteria, playground, etc.) create the opportunity for users to re connect with the outside and decompress from the more artificial internal spaces.
Boxes over boxes is a theme in itself and has the potential to generate an iconic building.
