Majestically present in the marginal of Luanda’s bay, the Atlantic Towers were built to house a 3-oil companies consortium, namely Sonangol, Esso and BP. Currently the highest building of the Angolan capital comprises 3 distinct blocks: one, destined to office spaces; one, to housing areas; and, the other, to parking and leisure areas.
The office block, with 20 floors, is served by seven passenger elevators and, on the first floor, holds a cafeteria, a restaurant with 432 seats, technical facilities with telecommunications, and an elevated platform that functions as heliport.
The residential block has 11 apartment floors served by 12 elevators, as well as 5 parking floors and other equipment. The building destined to parking holds 5 dedicated floors, in addition to a pool and garden terrace.
Incorporated into the housing and property rehabilitation plan for the city of Luanda, the project, conceived by EDI Architecture, exhibits a concrete structure with different heights between floors and lightened slabs, which demanded strong technical skills to the companies involved, among which Engexpor, responsible for the project and the construction management.
