The intervened house is located at Parque das Nações in Lisboa. It is a house integrated in a set of houses, in a good state of conservation. The interior contained heavy finishing’s and outdated aesthetics. As such, the intervention went through redesigning all the elements of the several house areas, in order to implement a contemporary interior architecture improving the luminosity, functionality and general comfort.
The kitchen, was coated in white marble stone, reflecting and introducing natural light into a room division that was previously very dark and with poor finishing’s. In the hall a social toilet room was created along with a coats closet. Already in the living room a new shelf was created to accommodate a heat retriever, that became a piece integrated in the architecture. The illumination of all the common areas was designed into the false ceilings, in order to obtain an indirect light over the shape of the molding with several geometrical shapes. By the walls linear light boxes were made. Already in the center of the room and stairhead big circles were introduced, that give amplitude and dynamics to the space.
On the first floor, the closets of the bedrooms were replaced with closets aligned at the wall surface level, and the bathrooms remodeled. The bathroom in the bedrooms was coated with white marble stone, providing a sensation of further lightweight and luminosity. The suite bathroom was coated with the prolongation of the bedroom wood into its interior, adding to comfort and providing the space with continuity.
