Hotel Baia, Cascais (1/2)

An historical landmark of Cascais ! Not only the interiors of this hotel were outdated and needed a more up-to-date look, but the renovations involved the creation of new conference rooms, lounge area and all service areas. The existing spaces needed to be re-organized to meet the new needs of the clients - conference rooms, a new bar, re-furbish the existing restaurant, new reception area and most importantly, the exlibris of the hotel, the Esplanade that faces the sea.

Hotel Baia, Cascais (2/2)

This project lasted almost 2 years, being that all work had to be phased out as to minimize the impact on the commercial activities of the hotel. Therefore, the architectural, spatial and Interior design specifications were being projected in parallel as to the ongoing site supervision of the building work.

Restaurant Nood
Nood is an Asiatic inspired, noodle bar. The food is healthy and simple. The space had to project the positive eating attitude of the restaurant. The restaurant is situated near the centre of Lisbon, on the ground floor of an office block. The interiors had to be moulded into a restaurant space with all the technical and working specifications required. The colours for the interiors, are red and white, based on the logo.

Restaurant - Bar Marina Caff

Opened to the public during the day as well as at night, serving snacks, light meals and a variety of sophisticated cocktails. Dark colours on the walls and indirect lighting, helped to create a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. A video wall, displaying musical DVDs creates dynamism and interaction with the patrons. . Not wanting to leave out the strong nautical connection with the location, various elements were used, such as the shades of blue in the mosaic of the bar, wooden floors and the ceiling which has white triangular forms, remembering white sails. The circular glass inserts on the doors as well the wall lights remind us of portholes. Special care was taken in choosing the outdoor furniture, as this is a space that will be used extensively in sunny weather.

Villa in Vale do Lobo (2/2)

The client's brief was that the interiors had to be all white ( a stark contrast with their home in England) with just a splash of color. My challenge was to make the interiors interesting and cozy (with limited use of color). The house has huge windows, so we had to control the glare factor, without blocking the natural light.

Villa in Vilamoura
A young familys holiday home. A practical and fun interior.

Villa in Madeira Island

The requirement was to have a comfortable and relaxed ambience, not too contemporary. The owners are English and wanted a holiday apartment that was a home away from home.

Villa in Australia
The clients are a young family, which purchased a classical home, in terms of architecture but wanted the interiors to be more contemporary. The master suite was very large with a wonderful view. In order for the bed to face the window and create a more private area, a false wall with shelving on one side was proposed.

Rural house in Alentejo

When this house was bought, it hadn't been lived in for over 25 years, It had to be totally renovated. New bathrooms and kitchen created, some interior walls demolished, to create bigger rooms - all this without changing one single aspect of the facades, which were all restored. The interior decoration is rustic, in keeping with the architecture and the surroundings.
