Cascais 2023

Belle Rivière

A renovation completed.

Belle Rivière — Open-plan kitchen and living room with timber cabinetry and a stone island.

An unfinished renovation,
brought together.

The starting point. A T3 home in a Cascais condominium, with its interior already stripped by a previous contractor. Maya’s Homes took on the unfinished renovation.

The renovation. Pale oak herringbone floors connect the rooms. Chestnut cabinetry and a marble island define the kitchen, with white tile and brushed brass in the bathrooms.
