Alecrim 53 – The 750 Development

SCROLL

Blazing Reflection

On a facade of sober Pombaline style at a perfect right-angle to the river, where only the filigree wrought iron balconies break the regularity of the architectural lines, a door with traditional lioz stonework gives way to a space of elegant harmony and fine contrast. Here, in this unique spot in the nation’s capital, the pale facade, riverside setting and glorious sunlight converge to evoke the unforgettable sensation of a blazing reflection. In the renovation of Alecrim 53, artists and craftspeople have worked to contribute their stories to the history of the building. With this reinforced protagonism, the property’s value shines through by adapting to a new era and adding the best of the present day to its heritage.

Interiors

Heritage meets fashion

Each apartment has its own character and is given an individual makeover, blending restored elements with a modern and functional design. The features that tell the story of the building and evoke its enriching past were carefully recovered and set among beautiful things, created with a strong sense of harmony in every detail. Everything has been carefully thought out to meet the most stringent standards of comfort and style. Full advantage of the exceptionally high ceilings is taken to gain living space with stunning mezzanines.

Arches, folding doors, and glasswork distinguish and integrate well-lit environments. This integration of heritage and innovation, architecture, art and design, has converted a formal example of 18th century Portuguese architecture into a stylish classic that will continue to enchant and inspire for future generations.

THE LOBBY

A STYLISH CLASSIC

The lobby of Alecrim 53 expresses the building’s identity in a contemporary language. It is a refined but welcoming area that offers a precise combination of luxury and discretion with a suitably artistic gesture. The intervention of architects and artists highlights the transformative power of this transitional space. The theme of the art is transcendence and metaphor, the synthesis of past and future in a present that becomes timeless as time stands still. Art exists solely to be experienced. The predominance of stone and sharp geometry shares the stage with a bold illumination. The dynamic effect of the tiled floor articulates a slow and subtle movement, and geometric rigour becomes lost in a more complex game of shapes and perspectives. An intermediate step raises the atrium and precedes the archway that leads to the stairs, where the craftsmanship of artisans is captured in the woodwork and tiles.

History & Tradition

Romantic and modernist

Beyond the city walls, the aristocratic estates and palaces were edged out by bourgeois housing. Along the Rua do Alecrim strolled the generations of Almeida Garrett, Eça de Queiroz and Fernando Pessoa, who gave life to the street and immortalised it.

In the city’s old quarter, the River Tagus from the Rua do Alecrim is one of the most striking views in Lisbon’s imagery
