Figueiras

Figueiras — the project name set across the hero photograph; below, the finished living room with mauve feature wall, white linen sofa, walnut console, pale oak herringbone floor

The apartment had character.
Just the wrong decade.

Terracotta floors. Patterned tiles. Heavy wooden cabinetry everywhere. An 85 m² T2 in Torre with a strong personality — the personality of a different time. The owners liked the apartment. They wanted a different decade in it.

The studio took it back to the walls. What went up in its place was an open-plan room where kitchen, dining, and living read as one space. By anchoring the layout with a quartz waterfall island and hiding the utility behind mauve cabinetry, the apartment gained a focal point without losing breathability. Eighty-five square metres, drawn for two.

“Sometimes the best design is knowing when to stop.”

Eighty-five square metres. Every one of them chosen, none of them crowded.
