Situated on a plot of 210m2, the dwelling will have 3 floors and a total area of 300m2. Surrounded by a lush, tropical garden, a true botanical haven, the space enjoys a unique charm enhanced by the absolutely singular panoramic view. Bathed in natural light and located in a pedestrian dead-end zone, the residence allows you to experience a great sense of tranquility and comfort in the heart of Lisbon.

The ground floor with direct access to the garden will feature 2 suites, one of which has a spacious private closet. The social area is spread across the first floor, with an open kitchen leading to a spacious living and dining room and a guest toilet. Finally, on the third and last floor, you can enjoy 2 more suites - one of them with a private closet - with an extraordinary view of the property, the chapel of Senhora do Monte, and the city of Lisbon.

The dwelling, currently undergoing total reconstruction, will be deeded once the rough construction phase is completed. The finishing touches will then be undertaken by the new owner, allowing them to personalize these details to their taste.

A restoration of an abandoned and fallen down building, the three-storey house has a plain white outer appearance, similar to that of its neighbours. But inside the house is a dramatic contrast of concrete and pink marble.
«The regular rhythm of the historical openings in the white facade of the building is preserved, but the interiors are carved to create larger volumes and play on light and views,» explained Leopold Banchini Architects.

On each of the three levels a large marble core contains what the practice call «elementary needs» such as a fireplace, kitchen units, a bathroom and even a double bed. This frees up the surrounding spaces to become flexible living areas.
Sliding wooden doors in these areas allow for pockets of private space to be created when necessary, such as enclosing the bed to create a bedroom.
Curved cuts in the corners of the plan create double-height spaces that draw natural light into the home and create a connection between the floors, which can also be enclosed with fabric curtains.

Each level of Casa do Monte is connected by a thin steel spiral staircase finished in blue that winds its way up the house to the roof terrace.
Throughout the interiors, materials and finishes have been kept simple, with the raw concrete structure of the home left exposed. Slabs of marble have been used to create shelving.

At ground floor level, the living, dining and kitchen space opens onto a shaded patio clad with traditional Portuguese tiles or azulejos, with openings in the walls overlooking the city below.

On the roof of Casa do Monte the marble-tiled terrace is surrounded by a thin pool, which provides dramatic panoramic views of Lisbon.

Shade is provided by three umbrella pine trees, similar to ones planted by the monks in front of the nearby chapel of Nossa Senhora de Monte.

A vacant building that has been rehabilitated and transformed into a three-storey vertical dwelling where the façade has been rehabilitated in a sublime way that fits in with the existing surrounding architecture. Its architecture is expressive and full of character by the illustrious architect Léopold Banchini.

The sliding wooden doors in these areas allow for the creation of pockets of private space when needed, such as collecting the space to create a quirky bedroom... The curved cuts throughout the marble create double-height spaces that draw natural light into the house and create a connection between the spaces and between the villa as a whole. This architecture allows the whole house to move according to the cosmopolitan rhythm that the energy of the city invites us to.

Each floor of Casa do Monte is connected by a thin steel spiral staircase with a blue finish that leads over the floors to the roof terrace.

In all the interiors, the materials and finishes have been minimalist, with a raw concrete structure as a unique showpiece. Marble slabs were used to create storage spaces while maintaining the concept of having immense architecture in the home.

On the first floor - there’s the dining room submerged in a patio covered in traditional Portuguese tiles and with an elegant view over the historic area of the city, and finally a simple kitchen surrounded by a large living room and tenacious space.

On the roof of Casa do Monte, the marble terrace is surrounded by a pool with fine, smooth lines that offers a panoramic view as majestic as the one from the Nossa Senhora do Monte viewpoint.

Almost as a tribute, the shade of this terrace is provided by three stone pines, similar to those planted by the monks in front of the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte.
