Set in the historical city of Alcacer do
Sal, the Finisterra project is located on
the edge of its riverfront boulevard. The
programme comprises 30 servicedapartments with a true riverfront
panorama on all units, framed by the
rice marshlands, the cork fields and the
pine forests on the opposite riverbank.
Its trapezoid plot faces the river towards
south and, via the northbound Santa Luzia
road, leads up to the castle and the core of
the medieval district.

Apartment interior
Following the morphological dominant of
Alcacer’s skyline, the building emphasizes
the surrounding streets, dissolving itself
on the overall image of the city. With its
privileged position on the West edge of
the city, the building forms an “L” shape
facing south. Its fully glazed façade
sheltered from the sun by a system of deep
undulating balconies that truly serve as an
outdoor extension of the apartments.
The raised platform slab, which
comprises parking and storage below,
allows not only a raised height from
the street level, but a vantage point
for all the apartments to benefit from
the riverfront vistas. The top of this
platform also accommodates private
gardens for the ground-floor apartments,
and a large condominium pool with an
infinity-edge towards the river. The
third-floor apartments have private use
of the rooftops. The latter consist of a
landscaped leisure area with small pools,
barbeque and a sun-bathing deck.
