For the refurbishment of the building on Rua da Prata, intended to house an apartment hotel, it was considered essential to restore the character and integrity of the original design, in order to preserve the image of the historic Baixa Pombalina complex.

Soon after, there was no hesitation. We started a project (...) and once again Atelier Pedro Carrilho Arquitectos exceeded our expectations.

Main facade

These principles of intervention stand out above all in the restoration of the shop-floor openings, for which the metrics and design of the pre-existing elevation were reinstated.

In organizational terms, the ground floor of the building is divided into a large store space (which extends into two basements), and an independent entrance on Rua de Santa Justa, through which you access the Atrium/Reception of the Hotel Unit. On the upper floors, a concept of “apartment units” was adopted (3 per floor), totaling 14 units.
