Lisbon Serviced Apartments - Avenida da Liberdade

The client wanted clear, light and simple-to-live-in apartments for international businessman staying in Lisbon.

Our canvas was an office building, with long horizontal windows and a very concise structure layout. Our reference for each floor was the vertical circulation. We wanted the apartments to have all the useful stuff in-wall and the layouts to be very cut-clear - maintaining something of the office building layout - something from the atmosphere of 'THX 1138', while being possible to live there.

Because this building is near Marquês de Pombal the plans needed approval by the culture government department - wich meant the façade's design needed to show respect for the neighborhood. We opted for a neat look, considering the client wish of maintaining the stone.

We would love to have been part of the decor process.
