This apartment occupies the top floor of a 60’s building in Campo Grande, Lisbon. The compartments had harmonious proportions and were well lit, so the main challenges were to re-organize the program, establishing a connection with the attic that was vacant at the time, and provide the technical facilities of a contemporary home.
