New Residential Development In Leça Da Palmeira, Matosinhos Studio (T0) And Duplex Studio (T0 Duplex

In Leça da Palmeira, a new private condominium emerges, redefining the concept of urban rehabilitation: preserving the original character, enhancing comfort, and creating unique living spaces.

Comprising just 15 studio and duplex studio apartments, this development stands out for its prime location next to the Forte de Leça da Palmeira, only 200 metres from the beach and the iconic Piscinas de Marés. The surrounding area offers a truly exclusive lifestyle, shaped by its proximity to the Yacht Club, the finest restaurants in the area, and the authentic coastal atmosphere that makes Leça one of the most sought-after locations in the Porto metropolitan area.

The project stems from the refurbishment of a historic building, complemented by the creation of a new architectural volume, in an intervention that carefully respects the original identity of the complex. The existing volumetry, the main façade, and the access through the lateral courtyard have all been preserved, creating a harmonious balance between heritage, memory, and contemporary architecture.

The interiors have been designed to provide comfort, functionality, and durability, with carefully selected finishes throughout. Highlights include AC5 floating flooring in dry areas, Marmocim wall coverings in wet areas, kitchens featuring compact marble composite worktops and splashbacks, bathrooms fitted with suspended sanitary ware, lacquered carpentry, double-glazed window frames with thermal break, multisplit air conditioning, and domestic hot water heating via heat pump. The development also includes recessed LED lighting, a video intercom system, and a shared condominium lounge with kitchenette and laundry facilities.

The main façade preserves the original stone elements and thermal render, reinforcing the building’s historic identity, while the remaining façades adopt a contemporary expression through painted ETICS insulation systems.
