These beautifully designed homes incorporate all of the services and finishes necessary for how we live in the twenty-first century.
Every detail has been considered, from the quality of the construction materials used in the building, to essential finishes like underfloor heating and luxury finishes such as handmade Portuguese tiles in the bathrooms and every minute detail such as in-wardrobe lighting and de-misters on bathroom mirrors.

Casa Luisa - Main Features
Total Living Area - 200m2
The project has been designed by Portuguese Architect Mariana Barbosa Mateus.
The existing building and its unique qualities were the starting point for the design strategy. The street facade and front patio are fully retained together with iconic elements such as stone arches and window frames, interior doors and tiles. Keeping and reusing these elements preserves the memory of the history of the house.
The entrance for each home is through existing timber doors framed by the old stone arches, 3 of them via the existing front patio and the fourth through Rua Afonso Sanches.
Although most of the interior of the existing building is rebuilt to achieve high quality standards of construction, the layouts of the 4 houses encapsulate some of the grand spaces of the existing house, such the front rooms to Rua Afonso Sanches or small courtyards that become now private.
The design of the homes promotes the connection of interior spaces with the outdoor areas, particularly with the new rear façade that creates larger openings to capture views of the gardens and Cascais.
The materials palette retains the connection to the original building: whitewashed walls, stone, timber, tiles, durable and timeless materials.
Here are some of the design features all of these amazing apartments and duplexes share:
