Legacy Residences

Cascais, known for its elegant streets and luxurious villas, is a vibrant beach town and much-loved getaway destination for both tourists and locals. Cascais has some of the best restaurants, bars, shops and golf courses in the country.

Legacy Residences is a high-end gated compound with a private doorman and on-site luxury hotel services, located nearby the iconic Cidadela Hotel where numerous world-famous guests have spent many a night.

Legacy comprises both apartments and townhouses, the latter all having a private swimming pool and garage.

To meet the strict acoustic requirements, the swimming pools located on the second and sixth floor in the apartment building, needed to be isolated from the rest of the structure. A special vibration isolation system based on the Stravifloor Deck system was designed to decouple both pools.

A Stravifloor Deck concrete floating slab made of punctual bearings, proprietary channels and a dovetail metal deck supports and decouples the pools from their surroundings. The system was designed to reach a natural frequency of 8 Hz.

Between the structural walls and the sides of the pool, a Stravibase Lateral elastomeric mat was installed.
