When it comes to architectural glazing, the principle of "less is often more" guides OTIIMA’s Vision system, a revolutionary window solution that redefines minimalism, engineering, and elegance. Designed for an ideal balance of transparency, precision, and performance, the Vision system transforms the way windows look, feel, and function. Minimal Aluminum, Maximum Light At the core of the Vision system is a radical design philosophy: reducing the visible aluminum to enhance natural light. By concealing the top and bottom rails within recessed outer frames, Vision creates a flush, seamless opening that provides uninterrupted views and continuous daylight. Whether opting for a standard horizontal sliding panel, a corner opening, or a hidden pocket system, you can expect pure transparency combined with architectural integrity.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of Eduardo Souto de Moura, one of Portugal's most renowned architects, whose work has had a profound influence on contemporary architecture worldwide. Famous for his minimalist and impactful designs, Souto de Moura combines tradition and modernity to create spaces that are functional and refined. A Journey in Architecture Born in Porto in 1952, Eduardo Souto de Moura studied architecture at the University of Porto, where he later became a professor. Early in his career, he was profoundly influenced by Álvaro Siza, another legendary figure in Portuguese architecture. Souto de Moura’s signature style emerged through his disciplined use of materials, a sensitive engagement with context, and an emphasis on structural clarity. In 2011, he received the Pritzker Architecture Prize, often described as the Nobel Prize of architecture, underscoring his global impact and enduring legacy. 1. Braga Stadium, Portugal Completed in 2003, Braga Stadium showcases Souto de Moura’s ability to integrate architecture with its environment. Carved into a quarry, the stadium's design respects the natural landscape, providing a unique spectator experience while highlighting his talent for harmonizing bold engineering with its surroundings.
