Areais

This apartment rehabilitation project in Avenidas Novas, Lisbon, begins far from here, in Mozambique. The clients live between these two places, and this way of living between geographies ultimately shaped our approach to the space.

The apartment already existed, with a clear, compartmentalised structure, so there was no need to change it radically. But a small adjustment makes a big difference: a restrained intervention, yet precise, allows the home to breathe differently, connections become more natural and, in turn, light moves through the space continuously.

In the kitchen and bathrooms, the materials create a stable base:

black granite, beige tones, surfaces that do not demand attention. The rest takes shape: objects brought from different places, pieces that tell stories and, of course, memories that effortlessly come to inhabit the space.

In the end, this project does not try to impose a new identity. It organises, clarifies and makes room for life, between Portugal and Mozambique, to continue unfolding naturally. Just as it should be.
