Situated in the picturesque city center of Lisbon, White Attic is designed by two Portuguese architects, Diogo Passarinho and Duarte Caldas for a young family. This beautiful two story space is conceived as a sleeping area and a workplace for the fashion blogger More is Better.

The new ceiling exposes the existing wooden beam structure and three new skylights bring daylight and views to Lisbon's airport landing strips.

The client specifically requested that all surfaces would have to be white. This created the unique opportunity for the architects to insert the only splash of mint green colour in between the bathroom tiles. The bathroom also works as corridor where on both extremities you can find which one's closets.

I love to see small apartments with tight spaces like this designed in a way that brightness, comfort and practicality is achieved through a minimalist approach.
