About the Project:

The oval water feature located in the main atrium of Centro Commercial Dolce Vita, is adjacent to the new Antas stadium, home of the O'Porto football club. In this multiple level shopping centre developed by Amorim Immobiliaria, the highly visible water feature plays center stage. Visitors can't help but be engaged by the constantly varying animated water displays linking all four floors. Crystal Fountains together with its team of specialists worked closely with architects Suttie Mindlin of St. Louis and local construction teams to ensure the water feature effectively delivered on the ambitious design challenges of the cathedral-like space.
