Duplex à venda na Avenida Barbosa du Bocage

Occupying the top floors of a distinguished 1935 building in Avenidas Novas, this three-bedroom duplex penthouse has been entirely reimagined through a comprehensive renovation carried out between 2021 and 2023 by its owner in collaboration with architect Bruno Gonçalves Pereira. The transformation includes the addition of a striking new upper level, introducing a contemporary architectural language while respecting the building's original character. The full story behind the renovation can be discovered on our website.

The apartment unfolds with remarkable balance, where Art Deco proportions meet restrained contemporary design. Original timber floors, generous ceiling heights and carefully preserved period details provide warmth and authenticity, while the layout has been refined for modern living. Distinct yet interconnected, the living and dining spaces are bathed in natural light from the marquise, a glazed extension that links both the reception room and kitchen, creating a seamless transition between spaces.

Designed with both functionality and simplicity in mind, the kitchen combines understated finishes with integrated storage, maintaining an open and considered aesthetic. Within the marquise, a concealed laundry cupboard is discreetly incorporated into the joinery, allowing practical elements to remain elegantly out of sight.

A sculptural staircase in solid pine rises beneath a generous skylight to the newly created upper floor, where architecture takes centre stage. Here, double-height volumes, abundant natural light and carefully framed views create an atmosphere of calm. The principal suite occupies this level alongside an en suite bathroom, a refined workspace and an open mezzanine that enhances the sense of scale. Full-height doors lead directly onto an expansive private terrace, offering a peaceful outdoor setting above the rooftops of Lisbon.

The lower floor accommodates two further bedrooms, each designed with bespoke storage. One features built-in wardrobes, while the other benefits from a walk-in dressing room. They share a beautifully detailed bathroom finished in Portuguese Lioz stone, introducing a subtle connection to local craftsmanship.

Every intervention has been approached with exceptional care, preserving the elegance of the original architecture while introducing contemporary forms with precision and restraint. The result is a home that feels timeless yet unmistakably modern, offering an architectural quality rarely found in the neighbourhood.

One of Lisbon's most established residential districts, Avenidas Novas is characterised by its broad, tree-lined avenues, elegant early twentieth-century buildings and relaxed pace of life. Independent cafés, restaurants and local boutiques are all within easy reach, while excellent transport connections place the city centre and airport just moments away.
