Hugo: “We don’t know much about the family, except for the fact they never lived here full-time, which would have been quite common for the period. In 1901, when it was built, affluent families often kept a house in the city for social and business purposes. The mezzanine and the studio, both of which have their own doors on the street, were first used as an architect’s office and a lawyer’s office by the original owners. As a building, it’s also typical of its period, with the formal or ‘fine’ spaces on the first floor, reached via a grand sweeping staircase.”
John: “What’s less common is that it hasn’t been divided up like so many buildings in Lisbon have. That said, we’ve designed it so that, should someone wish, they could split it up and create three or even four apartments, with the first-floor fine rooms having access to the garden.
“In all our work, we’ve gone to great lengths to preserve, as much as we can, the original character and fabric of the house, which was important to us. The rooms on the principal first floor, accessed from the main door on the street, are what would have once been the formal reception areas and are now our main living and sleeping spaces. When redesigning these rooms, we were led by what was here or would have been: stucco, exquisite surfaces, beautiful furniture. In fact, we even bought some of the pieces that once furnished these rooms. We carried that on a little, up to the second floor, picking up some of the colours from the first and again using some of the old furniture, mixing it with current designer pieces.
