The sound proof insulation project of the new cruise terminal in Lisbon is a manifesto in which Diasen’s ecological and sustainable solutions were applied in many strategic areas of the facility.
The Portuguese capital’s link with water is inseparable, thanks to the Rio Tejo that runs alongside it for a few kilometres before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. Just before the mouth – between the Lusitanian capital’s two famous bridges, the Vasco da Gama bridge and the 25 Abril bridge, – stands this new building that has revolutionised Lisbon’s skyline and the view of the city from the river, without hiding the architectural works and the most ancient buildings from view.
The project is signed by the great Portuguese architect João Luís Carrilho da Graça, offering a modern gateway to the city for those arriving from the sea, literally resting on the waters of the River Tejo.
The facility has received major international recognition by winning awards such as:
– Best Public Project in 2017 and 2018
– Europe’s Leading Cruise Port in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020
– Prémio Valmor and Municipal de Arquitetura in 2017
