Loft-style townhouses in creative Marvila
ALBA offers five detached townhouses in Marvila, Lisbon's emerging creative district, each of approximately 200 sqm and configured as a three-bedroom home with a private lift and terrace. The houses emerge from the refurbishment of a former civil construction materials warehouse, where the original architectural character has been carefully preserved, bringing history and modernity together. At ALBA the atmosphere is one of simplicity and clarity, expressed through facades marked by their iconic windows, which open onto the tree-lined Rua do Acucar. Interiors follow a plain chromatic palette, offering a calm, versatile canvas to be shaped by the life of each home. The project was led by architect Miguel Abecasis. Set on a quiet, leafy street yet within one of Lisbon's most dynamic and design-led neighbourhoods, ALBA combines seclusion with a strong sense of place.
Why This Opportunity
Located on the tree-lined Rua do Acucar in Marvila, one of Lisbon's most dynamic and design-led neighbourhoods. The area blends industrial heritage with a growing cultural scene.
Only five detached houses, each around 200 sqm with three bedrooms, a private lift and a terrace. The limited collection offers privacy and a rare sense of a standalone home in the city.
The houses reinterpret a former construction materials warehouse, preserving its iconic east-facing windows and architectural character. History and modern comfort are held in balance.
Led by architect Miguel Abecasis, the project favours clarity, simplicity and a neutral palette. Interiors are versatile and calm, ready to be personalised.
Marvila's regeneration and creative energy continue to draw interest from residents and investors, supporting the long-term appeal of distinctive homes here.
