Marvila House: A New Modern Extension for an Old Charming Townhome in Lisbon - Remodelista
Briefly

Architect José Andrade Rocha has transformed a townhouse in Lisbon's industrial area into a minimalist home that blends with its neighbors. The front facade retains its original character, but a modernist rear extension enhances the interior with ample natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows. Finished during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rocha aimed to create a space conducive to gatherings. The interior features conventional materials creatively used, with a spacious great room and a well-integrated kitchen, reflecting both contemporary and local design sensibilities.
"Reflects a desire to enhance gatherings," he writes. This minimalist townhouse reimagines an industrial area in Lisbon while blending seamlessly with its surroundings.
The interventions include a modernist rear extension with floor-to-ceiling windows and a sliding glass door leading to a pebbled courtyard, emphasizing connection to nature.
