Chiado Balcony Revival Project
Original French balconies restored with stunning views.
The Project Story
Chiado is Lisbon's cultural heart — theaters, historic bookshops, century-old cafés, and timeless elegance. This apartment in a Pombaline building had been closed for decades, but its French balconies and French doors promised extraordinary views.
Our greatest challenge was recovering the original carpentry of the doors and windows, which had decades of paint layers and degraded wood. Specialized craftsmen restored each piece, preserving the original profiles while ensuring modern weatherproofing.
The interiors now combine French oak flooring, warm white walls, and a contemporary kitchen that respects the classic proportions of the space. The balconies are now the central element — private little viewpoints over Chiado's rooftops.
