KEMA Studio renovates the MARVILA ATTIC space which is only 645 square feet and located in an industrial location in Lisbon, Portugal. The entire neighborhood is going through a new revitalizing project and the attic that was once unlivable is now a bright and air-flowing apartment that overlooks the Tagus river nearby.
The renovation included a brand new roof and the overall interior structure that was drawn back and left only salvageable details, the floor, and gable walls. The attic also now has a full bathroom and its own private entrance as new additions. Private areas in the MARVILA ATTIC are kept contained in a section to keep the public space open to maximize natural lighting.
