Hotel Baia, Cascais (1/2)
An historical landmark of Cascais ! Not only the interiors of this hotel
were outdated and needed a more up-to-date look, but the
renovations involved the creation of new conference rooms, lounge
area and all service areas.
The existing spaces needed to be re-organized to meet the new
needs of the clients - conference rooms, a new bar, re-furbish the
existing restaurant, new reception area and most importantly, the ex-
libris of the hotel, the Esplanade that faces the sea.

This project lasted almost 2 years, being that all work had to be
phased out as to minimize the impact on the commercial activities
of the hotel.
Therefore, the architectural, spatial and Interior design
specifications were being projected in parallel as to the ongoing
site supervision of the building work.

Hotel Baia, Cascais (2/2)
Restaurant NoodNood is an Asiatic inspired, noodle bar. The food is healthy
and simple.
The space had to project the positive eating attitude of the
restaurant. The restaurant is situated near the centre of
Lisbon, on the ground floor of an office block.
The interiors had to be “moulded” into a restaurant space
with all the technical and working specifications required. The
colours for the interiors, are red and white, based on the logo.

Opened to the public during the day as well as at night, serving
snacks, light meals and a variety of sophisticated cocktails. Dark
colours on the walls and indirect lighting, helped to create a
relaxed and cozy atmosphere. A video wall, displaying musical
DVD’s creates dynamism and interaction with the patrons. .
Not wanting to leave out the strong nautical connection with
the location, various elements were used, such as the shades of
blue in the mosaic of the bar, wooden floors and the ceiling
which has white triangular forms, remembering white sails. The
circular glass inserts on the doors as well the wall lights remind us
of portholes.

the outdoor furniture, as this is a
space that will be used extensively
in sunny weather.
Café ColiseuThe interior of an old building was restored,
safeguarding the original and interesting features
of it's architecture.
The interiors, are contemporary and light to allow these

Hotel Apartments for The brief was that the apartment should be
contemporary with some design “pieces”, example,
and the Barcelona chairs.
Colours were to be subdued and soft. The atmosphere
was to be “Cool and sophisticated”.

A contemporary house, in terms of architecture, but
the clients did not want the interiors to be overly
modern.
I opted for simple lines and bright colours to create a

The client's brief was that the interiors had to be all white ( a stark
contrast with their home in England) with just a splash of color.
My challenge was to make the interiors interesting and cozy (with
limited use of color).
The house has huge windows, so we had to control the glare factor,
without blocking the natural light.

tsVilla in AustraliaThe clients are a young family, which purchased a
classical home, in terms of architecture but wanted the
interiors to be more contemporary.
The master suite was very large with a wonderful view. In
order for the bed to face the window and create a more
private area, a false wall with shelving on one side was
proposed.

Rural house in AlentejoWhen this house was bought, it hadn't been lived in for over 25
years, It had to be totally renovated.
New bathrooms and kitchen created, some interior walls
demolished, to create bigger rooms - all this without changing
one single aspect of the facades, which were all restored.
The interior decoration is rustic, in keeping with the architecture
and the surroundings.

tsSemi detached villa in CascaisThe client had quite a few items of furniture that we had to re-utilize. Some pieces
were classic and some rustic.
The challenge was how to combine everything without clashing. Very neutral curtains
and some walls with stronger colours helped to create the fusion.
This was also a published work in the Casa Claúdia magazine.
