BessaHotel Liberdade is a four-star hotel located on Avenida da Liberdade, one of the most exclusive areas of Lisbon. The project consisted of the restoration of a building that was almost destroyed by a fire. The external intervention intended to reconcile the needs of the new program with the building’s architectural heritage, namely the preservation of the neoclassical facade. One of the hotel’s most striking feature is a vertical garden that covers the entire posterior facade. Used as if it were a material, green takes on the protagonist role, softening the impact of the building, contributing to its sustainability, and giving the hotel a new life and color.
