A traditional Portuguese tasca — wood-panelled walls, a tiled bar counter, and a commercial kitchen in the back. No bedrooms, no home plumbing. Just tables, chairs, and Sagres on tap.

Everything Came Out

Every wall, floor, ceiling, pipe, and wire was removed. The commercial kitchen, the bar, the public bathrooms — all demolished. What remained was a raw shell and the chance to start from zero.

Open Plan Living

The restaurant's dining room became a single open space — kitchen, dining, and lounge under high wood-panelled ceilings. Exposed brick on one wall, a custom wood-slat divider, and black steel-frame glass doors connecting to the bedrooms.

Bedroom Design

Master Bedroom

Where the restaurant's storage room once stood. Textured cement feature wall, pendant reading lights, mirrored wardrobes, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto the living area.

Guest Bedroom

Botanical wallpaper, macramé headboard, wood-panelled ceiling, and a sliding door onto the private terrace. A completely different character from the master.

Bathroom Renovation

Built From Scratch

Built from scratch where the restaurant's public WC used to be. Wood-effect tiles floor to ceiling, a custom industrial vanity, and a walk-in rainfall shower with a skylight above.
