palma studios


Collaboration with Barbosa Mateus Arquitectos

Palma Studios, situated in the Palma neighborhood of Lisbon, Portugal, is a sustainable retrofit project transforming a late 19th-century farmhouse. This area is known for its village-scale charm. The project preserves the original building's shell, repurposing it into micro studios designed for student living.

To optimise space, a new basement and loft level have been introduced. The layout features an interlocking three-dimensional puzzle of rooms with mezzanines made of perforated metal. The building seamlessly incorporates local façade shades of burnt yellow, bringing the outside environment indoors. This colour imparts a warm glow to spaces that would otherwise have somewhat limited daylight, due to maintaining the original window openings.
