A Warm, Timeless Apartment That Blends Modern and Vintage

Housed within an historic building in Lisbon behind an Art Nouveau facade, this classic apartment blends modern and vintage pieces to result in a modern abode with a slightly masculine feel. Designed by Tiago Patrício Rodrigues, the home evokes an eclectic, homey feel with vintage rugs and contemporary art.
