Located in the heart of Chiado, the building is composed by 4 floors above the ground plus 1 attic floor. The main goal was to keep the commercial use of the ground-floor and design different typologies for the upper floors, namely one T3 apartment for the 1st floor, one T1 and one T2 apartments for the 2nd floor and two T3 duplexes on the 3rd floor together with the utilization of the attic. To improve the comfort a lift was placed in the stairwell. On the rear elevation verandas and French windows were introduced in order to optimize the enjoyment of the views and of the natural light. Two large dormers were introduced on the roof at the back and five smaller at the front with its respective terraces with exceptional views over the city, namely the Baixa Pombalina and the Castelo S. Jorge. The apartments in general have very generous ceiling heights, which associated to the restoration of the original ceilings and crown moldings in decorated stuccoes revived the nobility of the building. Indirect lighting was placed in crown moldings exalting the decorative elements. By designing doors, bookshelves and wardrobes up to the ceiling the wide scale of the spaces was highlighted.
