Hotel Hyatt Andaz, Lisbon
Located in Lisbon’s historic Baixa Pombalina, the Hyatt Andaz occupies an entire urban block that was fully gutted and reconstructed to accommodate a contemporary luxury hotel. Behind the retained façades of the five preexisting buildings, a completely new structure was built using modern construction technologies, integrating seismic reinforcement, advanced building systems, and efficient vertical circulation.

The hotel offers 170 rooms, curated retail areas, and a signature rooftop restaurant and lounge with panoramic views over the city. The interiors, designed by Patricia Urquiola, reflect a sophisticated dialogue between Portuguese heritage and cosmopolitan flair. Certified LEED Gold, the project balances historical preservation with sophisticated hospitality standards.

River Quarter, Lisbon
This mixed-use development integrates a 157-key Hampton by Hilton hotel, 13 high-end residential units, and a rooftop pool, completing the perimeter of an urban block along Avenida 24 de Julho in a former port-industrial area of Lisbon. The architecture is defined by its prefabricated concrete façade with deep-set windows and automated terracotta-red sunshades, adding both rhythm and color. Two recessed, metal-clad upper floors articulate the penthouse volume with quiet distinction.

The residential units are oriented southward, enjoying direct views over the river, while the hotel volume extends along the site’s depth, set back from the riverfront. Interior design, including all public areas and rooftop amenities, was handled in-house. The project is targeted for LEED Gold certification, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable urban regeneration.

Hilton Canopy São Paulo, Lisbon
This 95-key lifestyle hotel occupies an emblematic, classified urban block, once owned by the Marques de Pombal, between Mercado da Ribeira and Praça de São Paulo. The original four individual, but interconnected buildings of the block have been built after the 1755 earthquake incorporating a pre-earthquake structure of an arsenal of the Portuguese armada.

The architectural strategy emphasizes the conservation of structural, spatial, and ornamental heritage, while the interior design by Lázaro Rosa Violán introduces a refined, urban atmosphere that respects the character of the architecture while supporting the hotel’s identity. Targeting LEED Gold certification, the project integrates sustainability into the revitalization of a culturally and historically significant site.

Atlantic Club Comporta
A private residence club nestled in the pine-covered hills of Comporta, offering 38 keys across 24 cabana-style villas. The carefully curated layout is terraced to maximize views of the rice fields and Atlantic Ocean, where the single-story houses split functions over various, independent buildings which are scattered in the pine tree dominated landscape and are framing the different exterior areas.

Drawing from traditional Comporta typologies and based on their proportions, the architecture features whitewashed walls, thatched roofs, and lime plastered surfaces. The project includes a Clubhouse, service facilities, and staff accommodation. Interior design by Jacques Grange reinforces the relaxed yet refined atmosphere.

Hyatt Andaz Satellites Buildings, Lisbon
As part of the Hyatt Andaz Lisbon, four satellite buildings within the Baixa Pombalina extend the experience of the main hotel into a more immersive, site-specific urban resort. Each building is classified as heritage and reflects the Enlightenment-era reconstruction efforts led by the Marquis of Pombal.

Original Pombaline construction systems, such as the iconic timber-and-masonry “cage”, are preserved and subtly adapted to house suite-only accommodations. Additional restaurants, wellness areas, curated retail support both guest experience and the wider urban renewal of Lisbon’s historic city center. Key heritage features, including staircases, azulejos, historic carpentry, and mural paintings, are retained. Interiors are designed by Patricia Urquiola, as in the main building, ensuring coherence across all properties.
