Eagerly awaiting retirement, a New England-based client acquired a property in a former office building in central Lisbon. Artfully refurbished by Frederico Valsassina Arquitectos, the façade is composed of geometric strata of medium-gray panels alternating with weathered vertical staves. Our studio’s brief was to furnish and equip the interior of the vacation home to converse with the architecture, so family and friends visiting Lisbon would stay in an elegant, private setting, filled with locally-made and designer items. Upon entering, a small shelf and mirror function as a welcome valet. The corridor opens to a cozy living room with lambent afternoon light let in by large sliding doors. Just outside, the balcony sports a café table and chairs set for an aperitivo. An enveloping sofa, produced in Portugal, and an organic recliner, create an intimate lounge area facing a classic, modular media cabinet. An artisan-made wool ottoman adds a beat of color; the lights speak in plump opaline glass and thin black metal rods. The glass top of the dining table fades into the space, leaving its sculptural, marine blue base; in a play of textures, the upholstery of the dining chairs coordinates elegantly with the smoked glass. Tile, oak, and stainless steel come together in a custom kitchen island, with additional counter space and convenient storage. As the interior is replete with oiled oak in the floors, baseboards, doors, and cabinetry, matching wood furniture warms the bedrooms. The vertical spindles of the beds recall the pattern of the exterior façade. Laptop work is accommodated by a small console desk with a chair clothed in burgundy. Acorn-shaped pendants, inviting bed linens and rugs, and undulating curtains, all in the warm white of the walls, form a nest for relaxation.

Empire Kitchen & Bath designed and built the cabinetry for this residence — the first home outside Japan to earn UL 3036 certification for healthy indoor air. Every cabinet was produced through our custom cabinetry shop. The kitchen features a handleless flat-panel profile, paired with a book-matched backsplash, a custom steel hood, and glass-front display cabinetry for stemware. The primary bath continues the restrained palette with a floating high-gloss vanity and marble top. The project demonstrates that luxury cabinetry and the strictest residential air quality standards are not mutually exclusive.

Though fireplaces are a necessity to be used during those chilly winter days and nights; unfortunately no one enjoys cleaning them when it comes to removing the ashes. Especially with wooden fireplaces; ashes can be real messy and the coal can also remain hot for hours. Though vacuum cleaners are a solution; but then again most household vacuums cannot withstand the heat that emits from the burning ashes and coal. The Ash vacuum is a great and useful invention in this regard that is designed to handle the heat from stoves and fireplaces while preventing ashes and soot from flying around in the room at the same time. It also considered one of the safest ways of cleaning up fireplaces inside your homes. Normally such vacuums are entirely made up of metal so that they can withstand the high temperature. 100% Natural flame!!!
