Imagine the crossover of industrial Berlin with Southern Europe. Think minimalist design clashing with lavish lushious river views. This fusion of contradictions creates a new, a most magnificent harmony that can be discovered in this stunning one plus bedroom loft in Beato.

If you haven ́t seen something like this before, it is because it ́s one of a kind. While it is an apartment, the word doesn ́t quite serve the purpose as this space is more than an apartment or a loft, it ́s an experience of light and concrete and open space. Formerly a high end office, the entire back storage and separations are constructed from a made to measure, taupe colored designed furniture and wall system. This customizable system includes partially movable walls, allowing for the master bedroom on the left side upon entering, to be completely separated from the rest of the loft for true privacy. Heading right through the hallway upon entering, that same design system with movable walls allows enough flexibility to create an additional private room upon demand, whether it ́s for band practice, children playing, a meditation session or simply as an extra bedroom.

The word open space living room gets new meaning with the dramatically open design of the main living space. A very large room, with a unique high industrial ceiling, create a width and depth of the room which leaves any type of use for the imagination – from gallery to dance studio – the magnificent views of Beato and the sparkling Tagus river invite creative expression. The large light open space room also features an integrated kitchen concept designed with the same made to measure system, which allows the kitchen to blend into the room when closed, or to create a communal cooking area when open. Experiental being the key word, the dark wood panels, high-end cutting edge Miele appliances and a kitchen length bar would make any hobby checf proud and lends itself to social events and gatherings.

The sunfilled apartment has a meticulous, harmomious lighting concept that takes advantage of existing pillars and apartment installations to create a warm feeling on the few darker days of the year or in the evenings.

This gem of an apartment is located in the new artistic and startup community Beato – a vibrant traditional neighborhood on the forefront of Lison ́s urban landscaping efforts with the famous riverwalk and several new architectually renown projects as well as new gastronomical concepts such as Marvila 8.
