Duplex à venda na Avenida Barbosa du Bocage

Set within a classic 1935 building in Avenidas Novas, this three-bedroom duplex penthouse has been extensively renovated by its owner in collaboration with architect Bruno Gonçalves Pereira between May 2021 and October 2023. A newly constructed upper floor adds a distinctive contemporary volume to the original building, creating an unusual sense of space and light.

The apartment brings together the character of its Art Deco origins with a more contemporary architectural language. Original wooden floors and generous ceiling heights define the main level, where living and dining areas remain distinct while flowing naturally into one another. Both the living room and kitchen open onto a glazed marquise, bringing abundant natural light into the centre of the home and creating a quiet transition between interior spaces.

The kitchen follows the same restrained approach, with clean lines, generous storage and a strong connection to the adjoining living areas. A discreet laundry cupboard is integrated into the marquise, keeping practical elements neatly concealed.

A sculptural pine staircase rises beneath a skylight to the newly created upper floor. Here, a generous master suite with en suite bathroom sits alongside a dedicated office area and an open space framed by a double-height ceiling. Full-height doors lead directly onto the private terrace, creating a rare outdoor retreat above the city.

The main floor accommodates two further bedrooms. One features bespoke wardrobes, while the other has its own walk-in closet. They share a bathroom finished in Lioz stone, introducing a distinctly Portuguese material into the otherwise pared-back palette.

Throughout the apartment, original elements have been retained alongside precise new interventions, allowing the historic character of the building to remain legible while introducing a new architectural layer. The result is a duplex that feels rooted in its 1930s setting while offering a distinctly contemporary way of living.

Avenidas Novas combines the scale and character of Lisbon’s early 20th-century architecture with an increasingly varied selection of cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural destinations. Tree-lined avenues and excellent transport connections place the wider city within easy reach.
