Santa Clara is located in the old part of the town, for me one of the most romantic squares around Lisbon. We had worked with Manuel Aires Mateus already in three buildings before, he's not only a very generous person but he's an extremely talented architect, especially what has to do with defining the concept of a house.
it was a 17th-century building and so we kind of transformed slightly the house but it should always have the same sense that it had before
The idea of Silent living is in fact that through these days people get inspired, maybe integrate small rituals in their lives that they shared during their stay here in Santa Clara, and that this could make a change to their lives.
