Architect Manuel Aires Mateus’ own home, located within an 18th-century building in the heart of Lisbon, was conceived as an ever-evolving space that he and his family can cherish for years to come.

In an exclusive film, Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus, co-founder of Aires Mateus Architects, guides us through his historic family home on Lisbon’s Rua De São Mamede. Occupying the ground floor of a five-storey building that had endured a prolonged period of neglect, the intention was to update the interiors without compromising their historical essence. “We designed the house in a very open way, aiming to create spaces that support any kind of way of life,” Manuel expresses.
