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

In an exclusive film, Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus, cofounder of Aires Mateus Architects, guides us through his historic family home on Lisbon’s Rua De São Mamede. Occupying the ground floor of a fivestorey 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.
