The apartment was perfectly liveable, but I knew I wanted it to better reflect my personality and lifestyle. I envisioned something calm and natural, with character—a space filled with light, warm tones, and thoughtful details.

I wanted it to feel like my happy place: somewhere I could recharge, work from home comfortably, host friends and family, and enjoy peaceful moments on my own. It was important that the space be both cozy and functional—perfectly adapted to everyday living and entertaining.

Guided by a vision of simplicity and subtle elegance, the project became more than just a renovation — it was a journey of trust, collaboration, and personal growth.

From carefully chosen design details that reflect his tranquil lifestyle to the unexpected freedom of letting go and allowing others to shape the outcome, Luc’s experience is a beautiful reminder that meaningful design is rarely straightforward — but always deeply rewarding.

Spending some weeks in Morocco, made me appreciate some of the stylistic and design choices they have for their gardens. I fell in love with the earth tones of the walls, the intricate pattern of the azulejos, the details emerald green, and amber yellow.

This idea evolved through the identification of the right furniture and where to place them, by designing a comfortable living area, yet maintaining a functional and cozy dining area

Today, Odeon is a one-of-a-kind residential space, ideally situated to offer easy access to all that life in Lisbon has to offer. It seamlessly blends history with modern living, offering a vibrant atmosphere while maintaining its architectural integrity. The building retains part of its original metal façade, complete with suspended balconies, now enhanced with a contemporary touch. The result is a beautifully crafted apartment that combines the comfort and functionality of modern living with the tranquility and privacy of a unique historical setting.

The client envisioned a warm Mediterranean vibe, a space where they could relax and entertain. From the start, I wanted to weave in local Portuguese elements, such as traditional azulejos, to root the design in its Lisbon setting. The goal was to create a terrace that felt bright, airy, and inviting—almost like an extension of the sky above it. As we moved through the design process, the vision became more refined, blending Mediterranean warmth with clean, contemporary touches to make the space both stylish and practical.

We always have a preliminary interview with our clients to understand their habits, tastes, wishes, etc. This is then confirmed with a moodboard, which is a crucial part of the interior design process because sometimes words can have different meanings for each person. Nothing is more explicit than an image.

We also involve our clients in the entire process, so in the end, we build the project together—it’s a team effort with the client. There’s no doubt that the result reflects the client’s personality.
