“The idea was to transition from 2,754-square-foot old construction to 1,937 square feet, using mainly the same program but a different space experience,” the architects explained. “The main living/dining area can be completely open onto the deck, making the relatively small indoor space larger.” The sitting area, kitchen and dining room are organized in an open plan on the first floor, with bookshelves occupying an entire wall. A terrace that the family can use almost all year long extends the living area behind the home. Sustainability and energy efficiency are two major attributes of the project. “Rainwater is picked up by the roof and main terrace; it passes through two carbon-activated filters and becomes drinking water,” the architects said. Electricity and natural gas costs are estimated to be $15 per month. [Photos courtesy of Paul Cremoux Studio]

| Lisbon Restaurant Features Eclectic Cuisine, Design Posted: 25 Dec 2015 12:00 PM PST
Coffee Grill is a restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal. Envisioned by Yaroslav Galant, the new project combines vibrant design with eclectic haute cuisine and a lively ambiance. The restaurant, in a historic building in the city center, encompasses two floors. To infuse the space with personality, the designers restored the mezzanine, windows and several interesting wooden and stone elements throughout the site.
Freshome recently featured a Japanese restaurant and sushi bar designed by the same studio. Have a look at both of these Lisbon restaurants and let us know what you think.

The aesthetics of the original building contrast with the comfortable stylized furniture. The designers used old chandeliers and industrial-style lamps to achieve a lighting scheme that is warm and eye-catching. The resulting interior beautifully complements the historic neighborhood.
