Caetanos, 22 (Lisbon)
Renovation of a building from the 1950s in the heart of Bairro Alto, close to famous and sophisticated Chiado district.
The former headquarters of Livros do Brasil publishing house, this project involved the construction of 11 apartments – 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom duplex – with private balconies facing an inner courtyard and river views on the upper floors. It also includes 16 underground parking spaces.
The refurbished existing building comprises a basement, ground floor and 2 stories, with the addition of a third floor offering a stunning river view. A new 5 stories block was built in the backyard, to house five new apartments.
Rua dos Caetanos is situated just a few minutes from the busiest areas, but it has the advantage of being mostly residential, making it a more peaceful area to live.
