Aires Mateus Architects for Est Living

Architect: Aires Mateus Architects

Client: Est Living

Location: Lisbon, Portugal

Published: Est Living


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.

— João Rodrigues, Silent Living hotelier and founder
