About Apartment in Cais do Sodré
Blending Old with New in Lisbon
Though boasting a classic Lisbon design with high ceilings and spacious corridors, this project aimed to forge a cozy, contemporary haven.
Preserving Timeless Textures
Bridging the past and present, we retained much of its original structure. We revitalized select walls, preserving their authentic textures. The ornate trims on doors, shutters, and the wooden flooring also remained untouched. Together, these elements craft a narrative deeply embedded within the space. Indeed, this apartment pulsates with undeniable character and a distinctive “soul.”
A Meticulous Approach to Detail
Detailing demanded intense, nuanced focus. We handpicked every material, furniture piece, and artwork with precision.
Reflecting the Vibrant Spirit of Lisbon
Nestled near the Tejo river, this apartment underwent a vibrant transformation. Now, it gleams as a joyous, colorful sanctuary, mirroring the genuine essence of Lisbon’s capital.
