Lovely in Lisbon
Today I'm admiring this striking renovation in Lisbon, by Portuguese architecture firm rar.studio. Located in a 19th century waterfront building, it features a wonderful mix of pattern (tiles, marble and reclaimed wood flooring) in a minimalist setting. Lovely. More here on Yellowtrace.

Architects: rar.studio.
Location: Lisbon, Portugal.
Year completed: 2015.
Area: 200.0 sqm.
Photography: Fernando Guerra.
Today’s post is proof that the Portuguese always have, and always will
have, a very special way with materials. NANA Apartment by rar.studio is
a minimalist residence on Lisbon‘s waterfront. Located within a lofty
19th century building, the apartment features a seriously stunning
palette of pink marble, patterned ceramic tiles, crisp white walls and
reclaimed timber floors.
Commissioned to restore, conserve and enhance the original
characteristics of the building, rar.studio painted the entire space
white to freshen and highlight the period mouldings and proportions.
They also restored the original wooden floorboards, now an interesting
feature due to their width and aged texture.
Now, let’s take a moment to acknowledge that bathroom. Monochrome and
peach-coloured Portuguese marble were used in full slabs to create
complete shower cubicles, sinks and splash-backs – a visually strong and
modern solution that sings against the crisp minimal backdrop. In the
kitchen, blue-patterned ceramic wall tiles dating back to the 19th
century were left intact, contrasting with modern chrome taps and white
dining chairs.
Aside from the A+ use of materials, the space planning of the home is
quite unique. rar.studio designed permanently open spaces called ‘inner
rooms’, which act as shared storage and wardrobes for the residents of
the home. These spaces are visible and accessible from most areas of the
apartment, creating an interesting visual and spatial relationship
between private and shared space.
