This work is a refurbishment and an extension of a modernist villa from the 60’s marked by large interior spaces and long balconies open to the privileged views of the Tagus River. It is composed by 3 floors plus a terrace on the rooftop. The intention was mainly the reorganization and extension of the basement and ground-floor and the creation of a suite with a walking closet on the rooftop.
In the basement the extension corresponds to an advancement in the south elevation. This extension is due to the need of reorganization the located spaces in this floor, as well as allowing the vehicles access to the garage through this façade. Therefore, the path between the plot’s gate and the garage’s plot is shortened, which allows a better use of the outside space of the plot. The advancement at the basement level allows the creation of a covered balcony with access from the living room on the ground-floor, enhancing its relation with the outside space, enabling a straight access to the garden by stairs. The described addition is not strange to the elevation’s design where it’s inserted, respecting its original structure, namely the vertical alignments of the windows and the stone panels that adorn it.
On the ground-floor the guest toilet is enlarged, the partition wall between the living-room and the office is demolished and the division between the entrance hall and the pantry is redefined, in order to integrate a vast storage area. This creates a storage core around which the entrance hall, pantry and kitchen are developed, hiding the stairs that access the basement and extending the visual depth of the spaces. The staircase between the ground and first floors was redesigned since they were not from the original project. On the 1st floor the existing partitioning was kept, reviewing the existing cabinets and designing new ones that were added and refurbishing the two existing bathrooms.
On the last floor (rooftop), as mentioned before, our intervention intended to expand the existing volume (solarium), which now houses a suite with a walking closet in order to take real advantage of the good solar exposition and the panoramic views over the Tagus River.
