Graça 117 is one of the rehabilitation projects that has evidently helped to enhance and preserve the urban unity of Lisbon’s traditional Rua da Graça, as a ‘piece’ of a group of buildings with history.

The assistance of architect Pedro Carrilho and his atelier has been crucial in all our projects, both in terms of building architecture and rehabilitation, as well as interior architecture.

Spaces & Houses

Like many of Lisbon’s properties, this intervention required a general restructuring of the building, restoring architectural features, respecting pre-existing references and reformulating the housing pattern.

“The assistance of architect Pedro Carrilho and his studio has been crucial in all our projects, both in terms of building architecture and rehabilitation, as well as interior architecture.

The relationship between the architect and the supervising engineer and the contractor and the latter and the client becomes easy and fruitful, and we can easily identify with the results of the projects we undertake.

Today we don’t give up his presence or his advice, and in its broadest sense he is the partner we count on and don’t give up.”

Bedroom

For the residential concept, 7 small, functional, short-stay studio apartments were designed. On the first floor, the commercial store space has been kept so as to preserve the spirit of the place and the bustle of the neighborhood.

Being an integral part of the street profile, a striking color was chosen for the main façade – navy blue – which creates a chromatic rhythm on this urban front.
