Bruno Pica & Carla Pica / Renovation of an apartment in Lisbon it has been modified: 2023-07-18 di Benedetto Fiori

The aim of this project was to renovate and refurbish an apartment located in a building built in the seventies in the center of Lisbon. The original layout of this apartment includes aspects such as a high level of compartmentalization and small spaces, thus creating an environment full of shady corners and rooms with little natural light.

The factor that made this project interesting was the recognition of the importance of the role of the outdoor patio in the process of changing the interior layout of the apartment. The recovery of this large unused outdoor area of ​​70 square meters has allowed the social areas of the apartment to be moved towards it. This change made it possible to live and use the patio to the fullest and to enjoy a large amount of natural light in environments such as the kitchen and living room.

The relationship between the internal living spaces of this structure is essentially defined by means of a non-structural decorative element that separates the kitchen from the living room, but also establishes a visual and physical connection between the social and the more private areas of the apartment. This feature is also highlighted by a different type of material.
