    Apartment with pool Lisbon (Portugal)

    In Lisbon, on Costa do Castelo Street, a three-bedroom apartment with garden and swimming pool. Costa do Castelo suspends Lisbon between the sky and the Tagus River, in this neighbourhood where the ramparts still frame the silence. The apartment occupies one of the highest points of the hill, with three suites laid out like a horizontal house with a private garden and swimming pool overlooking the orange rooftops. The interior spaces breathe, the 19th-century ceilings retain their ornamentation, and the large windows frame the city and the river. The planted terrace extends the living spaces, providing shade and mature vegetation. The garage with direct access and a rotating platform, rare in this area, provides welcome functionality. São Jorge Castle, the belvederes, the lively Baixa district: everything is within walking distance. A property that combines urban centrality and visual seclusion, contemporary comfort and architectural heritage. An address that needs no introduction, imposing itself through its location and coherence.

    Villa with pool Azeitão (Portugal)

    On the heights of the Arrábida Natural Park, contemporary architecture facing the Serra. The Serra d'Arrábida creates a horizon that few places allow you to contemplate with such intensity. On the heights of the natural park, a stone's throw from Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, a recently restored building has been designed to capture the light and the landscape. The work, carried out in collaboration with the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests, focused on erasure: erasing the building into the slope, erasing the boundaries between inside and outside. The sober materials, clean lines and generous openings create a balance between restraint and spaciousness. Between the beaches of the coast and the paths of the Serra, less than an hour from Lisbon, this property will appeal for its ability to make the panorama an architectural feature.

    Villa with pool San Casciano in Val di Pesa (Italy)

    In the Tuscan hills, a restored Renaissance villa, its chapel and grounds with swimming pool. The Tuscan hills are home to a Renaissance villa where restoration work has preserved the essence of the building without turning it into a museum. Coffered ceilings, stone fireplaces and large windows capturing the surrounding landscape: the architecture exudes a noble simplicity, rooted in its era without imitating it. The garden offers a variety of atmospheres, from the shaded grove to the planted terraces and the suspended swimming pool facing the valley. The private chapel, rare in this type of property, is a reminder that Tuscan homes integrated spirituality into everyday life, without ostentation. The cities of art remain within easy reach, amenities are accessible, but the site retains its visual isolation and tranquillity. Family residence, guest house or seasonal retreat: the volumes allow for several interpretations. A property that draws its strength from this rediscovered authenticity, between respect for heritage and contemporary comfort, far from the usual Tuscan clichés.

    Villa with pool Charneca de Caparica e Sobreda (Portugal)

    5 minutes from the beaches of Caparica, an architect-designed villa with swimming pool and annexe. No angles, only curves. Built in the 1980s, the villa rejects sharp edges just as ocean liners rejected ornamentation. The German architect drew inspiration from American Streamline Modernism and built his own 480 m² home among the pine trees of Caparica. For thirty years, the house has been his home. The structure has stood the test of time, but the finishes require attention. The 130 m² annexe offers three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a panoramic rooftop terrace. The beaches are five minutes away, Lisbon within easy reach. Living here means loving rounded shapes, white façades and houses that bear their history without hiding it.

    In Galicia, a carefully restored century-old villa, with wooded garden and swimming pool, on the doorstep of La .... The architectural transformation of this century-old villa is a work of art.

    Villa Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain)

    In the old town of Ciutadella, a historic house with an interior courtyard and industrial remnants. A six-meter-wide facade. That’s all Ciutadella reveals of this address from the street. The old town has always worked this way: narrow facades that conceal unsuspected depths, inner courtyards that passersby never guess exist, architectural layers that only the occupant eventually comes to understand. This house is the most faithful expression of that. The patio serves as the hub, the old factory bears witness, and the loft overlooks it all. Three eras, three uses, three ways of living in the same corner of a Menorcan town.

Stepping into this historic villa is like discovering a place where the past and modern comforts blend together perfectly.

    Apartment Lisbon (Portugal)

    In Lisbon, a flat in a building renovated by Pedro Domingos, overlooking the rooftops of São Jorge Castle. Lisbon has a long memory that transforms its ruins into raw material. Costa do Castelo is proof of this: a street running alongside the ramparts of São Jorge Castle, a building that time had abandoned, and architect Pedro Domingos’ decision not to conceal anything. The concrete, pine, Carrara marble, iron and glass bricks of the former industrial architecture have remained as they were. The light, however, has been reinvented through skylights and geometric openings that owe as much to Pierre Chareau as to the building’s layout. Three apartments with separate entrances have emerged from this dialogue between raw materials and formal rigour. From the first-floor balcony, the rooftops of old Lisbon unfold unfiltered. At night, the church of Graça stands alone against the sky.

    Apartment Catania (Italy)

    A renovated apartment inside a historical building, nestled in the old centre of Catania in Sicily. The city of Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, between the towns of Messina and Syracuse.

The apartment lies in a historical building in the city’s old centre, on the road Via Vittorio Emanuele, near the sea front and the huge monastery of San Nicolò l'Arena.

This elegant haven has remarkable painted ceilings, wooden-panelled walls and chevron parquet. And the property is ideally located. From here, you can easily reach all the city’s monuments, as well as its nearby café terraces, in a picturesque backdrop that is typically Sicilian.

    In the heart of Versilia, a 300m² villa with its own pool and landscaped grounds.. Under the watchful eye of many pine trees, this 1970s villa cultivates a special relationship between inside and outside. The garden, with its natural shadows and Mediterranean species, is a natural extension of the living space. Inside, the living room, bathed in light thanks to its large windows and white beamed ceiling, offers a perfect setting for contemplating the surrounding landscape. The potential for renovation would bring a respectful modernity to this architectural ensemble, where privacy is the real asset, so rare in this sought-after region between Forte dei Marmi and Marina di Pietrasanta.

    Villa Casciana Terme Lari (Italy)

    In the Pisan hills, a historic residence and its garden overlooking the Tuscan landscape. The village of Lari can be seen from the windows of this residence nestled in the Pisan hills. The architecture is evident in the succession of rooms with high ceilings, in the fireplaces that structure the reception areas, and in the garden that encloses the property while allowing the landscape to enter. Within walking distance of the village, the villa benefits from its proximity to village life without sacrificing its tranquillity. The materials and volumes reflect a time when buildings were constructed slowly and with attention to detail. Living here means accepting the character of the place, its generous proportions, its roots in a still unspoilt Tuscan landscape. Between family life and hospitality projects, the residence lends itself to several uses without losing its identity, in the natural continuity of what it has always been: a house built to last.

    Villa Borgo San Lorenzo (Italy)

    In the Tuscan Mugello region, an 11th-century Medici abbey and its estate covering over 54 hectares. A thousand years of Tuscan history lie here, in the stones of a Medici abbey that has stood in Mugello since 1084. The Quattrocento cloisters, the nave of the church, the ornate columns: everything speaks of a time when architecture served to elevate the spirit. More than 54 hectares of rolling land extend beyond the building, offering a view of the valley that the monks once contemplated. The Via degli Dei passes nearby, reminding us that this place has always welcomed travellers, offering them a place to rest and meditate. The scale of the building calls for an ambitious transformation – into a residence, cultural space or contemporary retreat – but it is precisely this scale that gives it its power. Between restoration and reinvention, between monastic memory and life project, the abbey awaits someone who can combine respect for heritage with boldness of vision. This is not a place to visit: it is a place to experience.

On the Costa do Castelo, running alongside the ramparts of São Jorge Castle, architect Pedro Domingos has converted a dilapidated building into three apartments with separate entrances, in a brutalist style that owes as much to geometric rigour as to Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre, that iconic 1932 work which Le Corbusier himself regarded as an absolute benchmark. The influence is evident in every opening, every skylight, every choice of material. On the first floor, two bedrooms and a balcony from which the rooftops of old Lisbon and the Church of Graça form, at all hours, a picture that the apartment’s neutral colour scheme makes no attempt to rival.

    In Fronteira, opposite a 16th-century church, a village house dating from 1723 with a courtyard and pond.. Opposite the church built by King Sebastian in the 16th century, a house dating from 1723 has survived three centuries without losing sight of its origins. The tiled ceilings, stone vaults and schist floors bear witness to its preserved architecture. The rooms on the ground floor flow into one another: a living room with a fireplace, a study, a dining room and a vaulted kitchen that opens onto the rear of the property. Here lies something that few village houses have: a walled courtyard where citrus trees, an old well, a veranda with built-in benches and a pond create a space sheltered from view. A green wall on the south side enhances this outdoor space.

    North of the Alqueva Dam, an Alentejo villa and its suites in a 1.25-hectare olive grove. Whitewashed walls, shadows cast by centuries-old olive trees: a villa whose architecture blends seamlessly into the regional landscape without compromising on modern comforts. Stone arches, exposed beams and handmade tiles are testament to local craftsmanship, while energy self-sufficiency and high-quality fittings meet contemporary standards. Six suites are located in the west wing, each with a private terrace opening onto rolling fields. The common areas occupy the central section, where light streams through large windows to reach the swimming pool facing the setting sun. Two hundred olive and fruit trees shape a cultivated landscape, where the vegetable garden and the gravel path winding between the trunks invite you to live in tune with the seasons. Distinguished by its Biosphere certification, the villa already welcomes guests and can be envisaged for other uses.

    Apartment Lisbon (Portugal)

    In Chiado, in a renovated Pombaline building, a studio apartment with ornate ceilings and a period fireplace. Rua do Alecrim has never ceased to be inhabited, which changes everything. Unlike neighborhoods that have been turned into museums, this one has kept its apartments alive, its windows open, and its facades still serving a purpose. In one of the Pombaline buildings on this street, a studio has preserved what two centuries might have erased without a second thought: a decorated ceiling; a massive stone fireplace that commands the space without apology. The rest follows naturally: an open-plan room, a balcony, and light streaming down from Chiado toward the Tagus.
