A Light-Filled Duplex Apartment in a Classical Lisbon Building

The top two floors of a classical building on Rua Conde de Redondo in Lisbon have been transformed into a three-bedroom penthouse duplex with high ceilings, exposed beams, and brickwork.

The 152 square meter apartment has been turned into a design-led family home where contemporary elegance, like high ceilings, clean lines, and clean finishes, goes hand in hand with historic architectural features like exposed brick, deep window niches, and wooden beams.

The open-plan living and dining area is the heart of the home. Large windows facing east flood the space with morning light, and wooden floorboards and exposed beams in the lofty ceilings add warmth.

Opposite the sitting area is room for a large dinner table that seamlessly connects to the kitchen. The walls have been opened up, and instead, there is a wonderful steel frame with exposed brick, adding an industrial touch to the classical room.

Even though the entire living space is open-plan, the kitchen is in its own area, creating a social layout without having to look at your kitchen at all times.

The lower floor features two bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms have access to a small balcony.

The top floor has been transformed into a master suite with plenty of built-in storage under the slanted ceilings and a private bathroom. Large skylights bring in plenty of natural light. This light atmosphere is enhanced by the white color scheme.
