Seeing today this space full of charm, it is hard to believe that for years it was a dark corner and damaged by moisture in the back of a Lisbon building. The lack of isolation, light, kitchen and bathroom made the conditions to inhabit it impossible. But a music in search of a place to create saw its potential and decided to give it a second chance.
The Portuguese studio ARK Studio was the one who worked the miracle, giving this shelter a new window, a stove to heat it, a mini-kitchen and a bathroom. Its members decided to preserve the architectural features typical of the area, such as wooden beams and white walls, and combine them with more current and simple finishes, such as polished cement floor and pine wood doors and furniture. To provide warmth and arouse the inspiration of the new inhabitant, they searched for pieces of furniture vintage of artistic inspiration in second-hand markets. Here you breathe art.
