It’s in the pre-existing identity, in perfect synthesis with the present century, that the owners of this small palace found a space to live. 
It was through the “construction of real life settings” that the interior designer Gracinha Viterbo designed “a classic space with a contemporary twist”, satisfying the sole requirement of the owners of this small palace erected over the ruins that lie beneath it. A building in the Chiado with characteristics of Pombaline architecture, built in the wake of the 1755 earthquake, and which has been reborn following a full-scale intervention lasting two and a half years with the purpose of welcoming a family and their guests.
While respecting its location, what this residence respects above all is the pre-existing artistic legacy, preserving and recreating the spirit of the period. It demonstrates a “projection with a timeless intention”, achieved through layering and a “curatorship of materials that seems to have been developed over the course of time “, says Gracinha Viterbo. Timeless qualities seen in the tile wainscoting, at the entrance, in the Portuguese lioz stones, aged by acids and spouting water, and in the restoration of the frescoes discovered behind false ceilings, undertaken by the FRESS foundation.

A space where every detail has its purpose, in which the Portuguese indigo blue establishes a connecting thread over the three floors of the palace, interconnected by the main staircase and the two lifts (one of them exclusively for transporting meals), which provide access to the various rooms, their respective bathrooms and wardrobes, living rooms and breakfast rooms, utility areas, study, gallery, courtyard and gym.
