The property is an old lamp factory, converted into a 158 m2 Loft that is currently being sold by Engel & Völkers for approximately €760,000.
This property located in the historic district of Alcântara, between the Museu de Arte Antiga and the Museu do Oriente, was built in 1901 and remodelled in 2004.
With a ceiling height of 4.90m, it enjoys immense natural light, thanks to two huge windows which provide a privileged view over the 25 de Abril Bridge.
There are several design details that enrich the space, such as the position of the sleeping area, the south-facing wall imitating brick and a perfectly functional fireplace. To complement, a mezzanine and an open plan kitchen, the latter fully equipped and oriented towards the social area of the house.
The architects behind the remodelling of this property, Raul Abreu and Miguel Varela Gomes, took full advantage of its industrial heritage to create a totally open space, with a visually impressive mezzanine that separates the rest and work areas.
That is a stunning use of space that will make someone very happy. I lived in 4 lofts in NYC in the ‘80’s with 12 foot ceilings and a photo studio in Seattle with 17 foot ceilings. Loved it.

Ha ha! The FT reviewer clearly wrote this guff from London. All the property close to the 25th April Bridge over the Tejo is thoroughly blighted by the infernal moaning noise made by tyres on the metal deck.
