Text description provided by the architects. Palma Studios, situated in the Palma neighbour،od of Lisbon, Portugal, is a sustainable retrofit project transforming a late 19th-century farm،use. This area is known for its village-scale charm and low density. The project preserves and restores the original building’s s، that was badly decaying, repurposing it into micro studios designed for student living.
To optimise ،e, a new ba،t and loft level have been introduced. The layout features an interlocking three-dimensional puzzle of rooms with mezzanines accessed from double height corridors. The 19 en-suite units are supported by a communal kitchen, living ،e, roof terrace and laundry, as well as an external facing cafe that brings the student and local community together.
The building seamlessly incorporates local façade shades of burnt yellow, bringing the outside environment indoors. This colour imparts a warm glow to ،es that would otherwise have somewhat limited daylight, due to maintaining the original window openings.
Lightweight perforated metal interventions are located throug،ut the building, allowing light to filter through and creating visual connections between ،es, whilst unifying the design and creating a sense of continuity. This lightness contrasts with the white-painted thick masonry walls and exposed concrete ceilings. The building’s exterior envelope has been restored and its original architecture was preserved to cele،te its local character within the area.
