This project is a tribute to Lisbon’s heritage, preserving the spirit of a historic block that embraces Rossio, Figueira, and surrounding streets. Without altering the building's volume, the intervention respects its Pombaline identity while adapting it to a new commercial use. Historic elements like azulejos and António Lino’s mural were carefully restored. Subtle changes—such as new openings, reconfigured partitions, and discreet escalators—ensure functionality without compromising memory. A living fragment of Lisbon, reborn for the present.
