Contemporary Renovation of a Classic Residence | Modern Design with Traditional Portuguese Elements

In this video, we explore a remarkable architectural transformation in Estoril, Portugal, designed by João Tiago Aguiar Arquitectos. Situated in one of Lisbon's most cosmopolitan regions, this 631 m² residence showcases a seamless blend of contemporary design and traditional Portuguese aesthetics, all while taking advantage of its stunning proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

The project centers around the expansion of the home, creating open, fluid spaces that reinterpret the original structure with modern touches. The renovation includes two floors, a swimming pool with a custom telescopic cover, and a newly designed volume that connects the garage to the main building. This expansion not only adds to the home’s functionality but also introduces a bold architectural narrative, with embossed cladding that evokes traditional Portuguese tiles.

Inside, the home maintains a thoughtful balance between private and social spaces, with a spacious new suite and living area on the upper floor. Every aspect of the redesign focuses on comfort and quality of life, from enhanced natural lighting and ventilation to aesthetic upgrades like contemporary railings and French windows.

Join us as we delve into the details of this sophisticated renovation, where modern architecture meets the rich cultural heritage of Portugal, creating a perfect harmony between the old and the new.
