GS1 Portugal makes use of the concrete structure of an existing 1980s office building which had become physically and technologically obsolete.
Inside, the building is unified by two large circular voids cut off from existing slabs, visually enlarging the user's perception of space. The interior of the building intentionally plays on the idea of material reuse of the previous structure. The building's facade alternates between floor-to-ceiling glass panes and concrete panels with bas-relief patterns by Portuguese artist Vhils.
