END OF CONSTRUCTION

Former vault of Paço dos Duques de Bragança. The original construction of this building dates from the 16th century, and still keeps the foundation with vaulted ceilings and a cistern. The remaining building collapsed in the 1755’s Lisbon earthquake. The building's image corresponded to the reconstruction carried out in the second half of the 19th century for the installation of the first great hotel in Lisbon, the Hotel Bragança.


Given the neglect that the building was subjected throughout the 20th century, the entire interior was very degraded, except for the pre-Pombaline area, which was preserved.


The program presupposed the creation of apartments that would benefit from the view over the Tagus River as well as the extraordinary solar exposure. The project sought to enhance the building's architectural elements and replicate many of the original details, which, although they could not be preserved, were replicated. The central corridor from the original building has been preserved on all floors of the new project as a memory of the past.


Large apartments were designed for the upper floors, and on the 4th floor there is only one apartment with two large terraces and openings facing the Tagus River.


The interior design as well as the projected utilities created 13 excellent apartment units.
