The apartment is located at the Avenidas Novas in Lisboa, on a building “Art Deco” that distinguishes itself for its large room divisions with a high roof height and frames both in the ceiling as in the walls. The apartment develops in the depth of the whole building, structuring over a long corridor that distributes to the several division rooms. The fraction was occupied by an office that had already changed the original floor plan, reason why this project also had the intent of retrieving the original habitational function.
On the front façade are located the living and dining rooms. It was also demolished a wall in order to obtain the whole width of the façade corresponding to the apartment, and gather all of the social area into one space, with one windows front looking in to Avenida João Crisóstomo.
The kitchen was relocated into the compartment immediately adjacent to the living room, in order to improve the space flow. At the center of the corridor a toilet was created for the bedrooms. In face of this toilet size, a bathtub was implemented in a large niche with indirect lighting, and independent compartments were made for the shower and the toilet sit. The whole bathroom was coated in concrete creating a neutral and homogenic environment.
The individual room was located in the compartment correspondent to the old kitchen. The old chimney conduits wall bounce was taken advantage in order to design a bed integrated in the closets set, creating in this way a cozier sleeping area. In the adjacent compartment a master-suite was implemented with a private bathroom and a closet. The entrance door to the closet and toilet was disguised, placing it at the face of the wall and coating it with the same decorative elements as the wall: frame and skirting.
