Barbosa & Guimaraes designed the new headquarters for mobile phone brand Vodafone in Porto, Portugal.
The new building is faithful to the Vodafone slogan “Vodafone Life, Life in Motion”, adopting a dynamic image, covering the sense of movement, challenging the static.


The formalization of this concept is based on the concrete, which through its plasticity, allows to create irregular and free-form shapes, working both as a structural solution and exterior appearance, creating a unique shape, a monolithic building, bringing cohesion and unity to the set.




The technical complexity of the building leads to a periphery structural solution, a shell of concrete, like an egg, reeducating internal support to the two stairwells and three central pillars, allowing great versatility in its interior space use.
