The public spaces are arranged vertically to provide a sense of grandeur, while the more private spaces, such as bedrooms and office rooms, are arranged horizontally to ensure complete privacy. The beautiful loggia, entirely covered in handmade tiles, provides unmatched access to the patio at the heart of the house, where the inhabitants can relish the beautiful small garden. Moreover, this house also features a roof terrace that provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Tagus River, making it an absolute must-have for any homeowner.

The facades and ceilings feature exposed concrete that exudes a raw, industrial aesthetic, while the green handmade tiles add a touch of earthiness and warmth to the design. The anodized aluminum frames contribute a sleek and modern edge, while the thermo-modified wood on the main facade exudes a timeless, elegant, and durable beauty. Simultaneously, these materials create a captivating and unique personality for the building and present a unique atmosphere in the place.
