The Hoso tower, a beacon of optimization and spatial adaptability, rises on Porto's university campus, filling an urban void left by the city's motorway. Its cylindrical design maximizes space efficiency, integrating infrastructure centrally and reducing construction time by 30%. Prefabricated from concrete, its facade shields from sun and noise, while balconies add a dynamic touch. Collective spaces on upper and lower floors offer panoramic views, enhancing the tower's integration into its surroundings.
