Sé Apartment

At the beginning of the 20th century, this old pasta factory near the Sé Cathedral was converted into small flats. With its impressive 5 meters high ceilings and huge windows, this apartment combines a majestic vertical scale with monastic small rooms.

Refurbished and decorated by our office to work as a touristic apartment, the project preserves every original construction detail and collects a sort of handmade pieces from north to south regions of Portugal.

Both kitchen and the bathroom were kept as original as possible, fine-tuning them for an appropriate modern living but keeping their vintage originality.

There was also an existing mezzanine over the Living Room area. By adding a removable wooden stair, it may now be used as an extra bed or a quiet and secluded home office.
