A Lisbon home with shaded rooms, deep window seats and a courtyard at the rear.

Casa Lumen occupies a narrow plot in Lisbon. The plan leads from the street through a series of rooms to a bright courtyard at the rear.

Shade and daylight

Deep window reveals, stone seats and timber screens temper direct sun. The rooms retain views towards the street while offering places to sit away from it.

Limestone, ash and brushed steel give the interior a limited, consistent palette. The details bring these materials together at the points people use most: windows, seats, doors and work surfaces.
