Alvide 2024

Vista

An Atlantic view.

Vista — Living room with a timber slat wall and a view into the pink kitchen.

A warmer home around
an Atlantic view.

The starting point. An 80 m² top-floor T2 in Alvide, with a dated kitchen, blue-and-white tiles and a balcony overlooking the Atlantic.

The renovation. Vertical oak slats connect the living room and bedroom. A dusty rose kitchen, pale oak floors and warm textiles give the compact home a cohesive palette.
