Located in the heart of Lisbon, next to the Chiado, on the hill of Santa Catarina, between the historical neighbourhood of Bica and the vale of Santos, the Santa Catarina Private Condominium is situated in the heart of 18th century Lisbon, in the city centre, flanked by Calçada do Combro and by Travessa Condessa do Rio.

The development consists of 19 condominiums, from 1 to 5 bedrooms, each with a spacious layout. There is a garden that offers a space for leisure with a lawn to relax or renew energies, and an inviting and refreshing swimming pool. There are various layouts available: one 1-bedroom unit, ten 2-bedroom units, four 3-bedroom units, three 4-bedroom units and one 5-bedroom unit. All of these layouts are spacious and enhanced with different, characteristic details.

Dating from the second half of the 18th century, the building has features typical of “Pombaline” architecture, commonly found in urban buildings from that period in this part of the city. In this privileged relationship with time, the project has recovered the spaces and experiences of a building with a past, while meeting demanding contemporary requirements. The modern architectural details merge with the traditional details, significantly contributing to the smooth integration of the building into the surrounding residential fabric.

The walls, in lime and stone masonry, and the high ceilings are therefore kept as a feature of the building. The floors are restored with wooden beams and a thin layer of reinforced concrete. The original structure of wooden joists and floorboards is sophisticatedly evoked and reinvented, and effective thermal and acoustic insulation guaranteed.

Outside, the garden has been restored. A spacious lawn, swimming pool, sauna and other condominium facilities with an open and clear view of the western part of the city.

For total comfort, the condominiums will be equipped with centralised air conditioning and hot water, an innovation in residential buildings that permits significant energy savings. And, to guarantee silence, all apartments have sound insulation, particularly reinforced on the façade facing Calçada do Combro.

Prices range from €630,000 (£500,000) to €2,350,000 (£1,862,000). The internal living area is from 144m² to 274m², with a number of apartments benefiting from balconies/terraces in addition to this.
