Living in the heart of Lisbon is an ever closer dream. The urban rehabilitation of buildings in the historic area of the capital affords unique spaces where quality of and refinement go hand-in-hand in buildings where old-style features merge with the requirements of contemporary life. The building Cordon 31, situated right in the heart of the Chiado, to be precise at Rua Vítor Cordon, is a good example of this effort to rehabilitate buildings, endowing them with finishes of excellence.
Promoted by Stone Capital, this project derives from a total investment of 2.1 million Euros and it is being undertaken by cari, a dst group company specialised in building rehabilitation. Refurbishment works' contracts such as the Chancellery of Oporto University, the Castreja Culture Museum or the Santa Marinha Inn, both in Guimarães, bear testimony to the quality of the services rendered by cari in this area, regarded as a nerve centre of the development of civil construction in Portugal. For José Teixeira, chairman of the Board of Directors of the dst group, this project “duly enriches the cari portfolio, concurrently strengthening our position as one of the reference companies in the field of urban rehabilitation”, also stressing that “the change in paradigm on the construction market in Portugal led us from early on to understand that the rehabilitation would become a business area where we would have to demonstrate all our commitment, know-how and craftsmanship associated with innovative processes”.
Vítor Cordon 31 – luxury right in the heart of the Pombaline downtown
Comprising ten family dwellings ranging from 1-bedroomed to 4-bedroomed Duplex, the building Cordon 31 extends for an area of 2100 square metres and promises to surprise thanks to the solutions it finds to design high-quality dwellings. The 4-bedroom dwellings are situated on the top floor and habitable roof, with each of them boasting a terrace that affords a panoramic view over the River Tagus. For cooler days, all the rooms boast stonemasonry fireplaces, recovered from the original building with tiling which is also recovered, creating a cosy aesthetic contrast with the more rigid, white lines of the rest of the interior design. In the building hallway the stone arches and flooring will be recovered, also made of stone block, lending a touch of class visible right at the entrance.
In the common areas the project foresees a panoramic lift shaft with totally glazed walls, thereby allowing a unique contrast between modern lines and the construction elements present in the space for more than two centuries. Moreover, as there is a need to rebuild all of the interior, maintaining the façades and main support walls, a light metallic - and also wooden - structural solution was adopted, thereby abandoning the standard reinforced concrete structure. Essential for those living in the heart of Lisbon is self-evidently the parking. The building at Rua Vítor Cordon 31 boasts indoor parking using raising platforms, a luxury additional benefit right in the heart of Chiado.
