In a privileged area of Lisbon, in Entrecampos, the Phoenix Building is an innovative project that combines modernity with sustainability. This new generation building, with 13 floors - 8 above ground, 2 semi-underground and 3 basements - covers a total construction area of 68,120m².

The upper floors, from 1 to 5, are dedicated to open-plan offices, providing flexibility of use, while floors 6 and 7 house executive offices, formal meeting rooms, a large balcony, terraces and areas for events and meals, with stunning views over the city. The basements are intended for car parking, storage and technical areas, and are equipped with ventilation systems and natural lighting. 

Energy efficiency and sustainable resource management are a priority, with class A and NZEB energy certification, LEED and Well Gold certifications, and the possibility of achieving Platinum. The collection of 100% of rainwater for reuse in the irrigation of public spaces, the use of vegetation with sustainable irrigation requirements, and the maximum possible production of renewable energy from geothermal and photovoltaic systems are some of the solutions implemented. 

The promotion of soft and electric mobility is ensured by the proximity of access to public transport, a large parking lot for 300 bicycles with changing rooms, and plenty of charging points for electric vehicles. Circulation and access to the building are optimised by metal walkways that connect different parts of the complex. 

The building's complex structure, with large open-space areas, was built using prestressed lightweight slabs to ensure flexibility and control of deformations. The floor slab is monolithically connected to the column footings, guaranteeing stability and resistance. The ground floors and loading and unloading areas were equipped with solid reinforced concrete slabs to withstand the high loads expected. 

The Phoenix Building was designed to concentrate all of the services of insurance company Seguradora Fidelidade, spread across several buildings in the city, in a single location. The aim is to provide better working conditions while also improving efficiency ratios.  With a modern architecture and advanced technological solutions, this building will enhance the city of Lisbon by projecting an image of modernity and sustainability to Portugal's capital.
