In the heart of Lisbon's historic Alfama district, an early 20th-century townhouse stood as a relic of faded glory—cramped, dark, and disconnected from its Tagus River views, where the original Pombaline structure had been altered by decades of piecemeal additions, turning a once-vibrant family home into a labyrinth of underused spaces. Our team at Infinito Living embarked on a sensitive renovation, stripping away intrusive extensions to reveal the building's inherent bones while introducing a light-filled atrium that connected ground-level gardens to an upper terrace overlooking the river, blending restored azulejo tiles with sleek concrete elements for a seamless fusion of heritage and modernity. The result?

In a sleek, newly built villa within Lisbon's prestigious suburban enclave of Cascais, the modernist shell gleamed with potential but felt devoid of intimacy—vast open-plan areas yearning for layers of texture and light to soften the clean geometry and foster a sense of lived-in luxury amid rolling hills. Infinito Living curated an exquisite FF&E palette, procuring from elite ateliers: Roche Bobois for sculptural armchairs in supple leather and oak that anchor conversation zones with effortless elegance; Lalique glass sconces and vases diffusing soft, jewel-toned glows that echo the villa's serene horizons; and Fornasetti's whimsical ceramic tableware and wall panels with celestial motifs adding playful artistry to neutral palettes, elevating the 220m² space into a personal haven of refined whimsy.
