Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal

An industrial landmark thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living. Once a warehouse, Alba has been transformed into five design-led townhouses by architects Miguel Abecasis and Daniela Franceschini of Quiet Studios. A refined expression of volume, light and materiality, the project captures the creative spirit of Marvila while offering a calm and carefully considered place to live.

Each three-storey residence spans almost 200 square metres and is connected by a private lift. At the heart of every home is a dramatic double-height living space, where expansive steel-framed glazing draws natural light deep into the interiors and creates a seamless dialogue between indoors and out. Cement-finished walls and Microlime Plus flooring introduce a restrained material palette, balancing industrial character with warmth and texture.

A sculptural staircase rises to a mezzanine overlooking the living space, providing a flexible setting for a library, studio or home office. This level also accommodates a generous guest suite, offering privacy within the home's open architectural composition.

The upper floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters, with two further en suite bedrooms designed with quiet simplicity. The principal suite opens onto a secluded rooftop terrace, creating a private outdoor retreat above the city, equally suited to slow mornings or long evenings.

Throughout the homes, every detail has been approached with precision. Bespoke resin-coated doors, brushed stainless steel fittings, vitrified washbasins and seamless glass mirrors contribute to an understated aesthetic where craftsmanship and durability take precedence over excess.

Positioned in the heart of Marvila, one of Lisbon's most exciting and fast-evolving neighbourhoods, Alba sits among independent galleries, creative studios, breweries and destination cafés. While immersed in the district's vibrant cultural scene, the development retains a remarkable sense of tranquillity, offering generous spaces designed for modern city living.

As a newly built property, Alba also benefits from IMT tax exemption, significantly reducing the overall cost of acquisition.
