Avant Garden Lordelo do Ouro e Massarelos, Porto

With only 17 apartments of typologies T1 to T4, Avant Garden stands out for its intimate scale and the strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a rare housing experience in the urban context of Porto. A project designed for those who value tranquillity, natural light, large areas and a more reserved experience, without giving up the centrality of the city.

Signed by the architect José Carlos Cruz, the development presents a contemporary, sober and timeless architectural language, where natural materials, large glazed spans and the relationship with the gardens play a central role. The apartments were designed to privilege comfort, functionality and continuity between interior and exterior, with large interior areas, terraces, private gardens and social areas open to the green surroundings of the development.

The outdoor space is one of the great differentiating elements of Avant Garden. The condominium integrates a large landscaped garden with about 500 m² and a communal swimming pool, creating an environment of tranquillity and privacy unusual in such a central location. Some fractions also benefit from gardens and private pools, reinforcing the exclusive character of the project.

The interiors are distinguished by the quality of the materials and attention to detail. Natural wood, marble, contemporary kitchens in open space and a careful selection of finishes create elegant, bright environments designed for comfortable and sophisticated daily use. All fractions have a private garage and most also benefit from independent storage.

Location is one of Avant Garden's greatest attributes. Inserted in one of the most sought-after areas of Porto, it benefits from immediate proximity to the Serralves Foundation, Avenida da Boavista, Foz and Parque da Cidade. The surroundings combine green areas, culture, commerce, restaurants, bike paths and quick access to the city centre and the waterfront.

Nearby are also some of the main national and international educational institutions in the city, such as the Oporto British School, CLIP, Colégio do Rosário, Lycée Français and Universidade Católica, as well as private health references such as the CUF Porto Hospital and the Hospital da Luz.

In an increasingly scarce market of truly differentiating new projects in this area of the city, Avant Garden asserts itself as a rare opportunity for own housing or long-term investment, combining location, architecture, privacy and quality of life.
