Set in a Lisbon neighbourhood from the thirties, the apartment occupies the last two floors of a building, benefiting from views that from northeast are headed by urban landscape and from southeast, in turn, are dominated by great canopies of trees that inhabit a secular garden near by the building.

The strategic position of the apartment due to his urban context in articulation with domestic space issues prompted the project to focus on the following principles:

- Spatial and functional readaptation in order to explore crossed views, communicability and continuity of and between spaces in active articulation with the pre-existing constrains;

- Program organization and distribution through a logic that promotes clear distinction between social areas [terrace, living room, dining room, kitchen, library] from service areas [laundry, wc, vertical accesses] on the ground floor and private area [bedrooms] on the 1st floor;

- Concentration of infrastructures, equipment and storage into functional walls and cores, in order to free up space;

- Enrichment of the relation between interior and exterior through the redesign of the openings, emphasizing the connection between those areas;

- Selection of materials that reinforce the natural light of the overall spaces through the extensive use of white color in articulation with the wood pavements and the ceramic tiles of the terrace;

 -Insertion of the “natural” as an element brought in from the secular garden, that is interpreted and reinvented into domestic environment;
