The translucent tower, clad in hexagonal-patterned glass, serves as an urban beacon, emitting a soft glow by night and framing the city’s energy by day. The base holds public facilities including a museum, auditorium, and sports pavilion, inviting the community into the heart of the structure. Natural light plays a key role throughout the building, with carefully positioned openings creating shifting textures and shadows that enhance spatial unity.
The green roof acts both as a public-accessible plaza and an ecological extension of the park, reinforcing the connection between sport, culture, and urban life. Arena Liga Portugal sets a new standard for how sports institutions can foster public engagement through transparent, multi‑use architecture.
