It is an apartment renovation located in a green area in Lisbon’s center that close to Parque Eduardo VII. Sidónio Pais II Apartment was an office and its original features had already been distorted before the renovation. Designed by João Tiago Aguiar Arquitectos with 2906 ft² in size, this apartment offers the original herringbone wooden floor that makes the interior interesting.

Small lamps are placed in the main corridor with zenithal lighting to create a battery of these truncated pyramids that carved into the false ceiling of the apartment. The distinctive aesthetic language is also adopted to conciliate the apartment’s original architecture and the new intervention.
