NoLiPa

NoLiPa is a development where the comfort and sophistication of a modern lifestyle stand out, featuring:

- Landscaped areas;

- Energy and water efficiency certification – Class A and AQUA+;

- Private parking lots;

- Electrical vehicle charging infrastructures;

- Bicycle parking facilities.

The project involves the construction of 8 residential and commercial buildings, predominantly with 8 floors above ground and 2 basement floors for private parking.

These buildings will contain 465 dwellings, corresponding to approximately 50 000 m² of gross construction area, as well as 22 retail units totalling some 3400 m², while 10 100 m² will be allocated to other uses. Including parking areas and technical rooms, the total planned construction area amounts to approximately 63 500 m².

The contract comprises excavation works, soil decontamination, peripheral retaining structures, structural works, architectural works and building services engineering.

The development site covers an area bounded by Alameda das Linhas de Torres, Rua Agostinho Neto, Rua Embaixador Martins Janeira and Rua Pedro Bandeira Freire.

The architectural design complies with the subdivision’s planning requirements, whereby the ground floor accommodates the retail units and the residential entrance lobbies. In most cases, the retail units face both the street and the courtyards, which will predominantly be privately owned spaces with public access.

These courtyards, located above the parking basements, function as urban gardens connected to the public realm through passageways, forming a system of alternative pedestrian routes to the main streets. Particular attention has been given to the coordination between the landscape architecture design and the structural and drainage solutions adopted for these areas.

The upper floors accommodate the residential apartments, arranged according to the typical floor layout defined for each lot, with only a minor variation on Level 1, where balconies are recessed within the building volume rather than projecting, for architectural reasons.

The various technical rooms required for the operation of the buildings and the wider development are distributed across multiple floors, particularly on the ground floor and at roof level.

At street level, we may find the public and private transformer stations, municipal solid waste storage rooms, booster set and meter rooms, HVAC cabinets serving the retail units and garage smoke-extraction outlets.

At roof level, in the so-called technical plant areas, there are emergency generator sets, photovoltaic panels and extraction fans serving kitchens and sanitary facilities.

The heating and cooling generation for HVAC systems and domestic hot water in the residential units will be decentralised. This means that each apartment will be provided with a technical cabinet for the installation of the external units of split systems.

The gas, water and sewage networks, as well as the electrical and safety systems, run throughout the buildings in accordance with the applicable regulations, being integrated within vertical service shafts and technical cabinets provided for in the architectural design.
