Oasis Aparthotel

669.Oasis Aparthotel · Aparthotel and serviced apartments · Oeiras, Lisbon · On site

The project

Sixteen serviced apartments and a ground floor of reception, bar and lounge in a rehabilitated block in Oeiras, from architecture to execution design under one contract.

What we were responsible for

A block of existing buildings rehabilitated for tourism use: sixteen apartments from studios to a three-bedroom, arranged over three floors and an attic around a planted courtyard with a pool, plus a ground-floor reception, bar and lounge and a shared workspace. The material scheme is narrow on purpose — terracotta floors, cream plaster, oxblood joinery, dark wood — and repeats from the smallest studio to the courtyard, so the whole block reads as one building rather than sixteen fit-outs. Architecture through to execution design, with the water, drainage and gas installations taken through external approval.

Who built it

WALLNUT was responsible for the design. The construction was carried out by a contractor engaged under a separate contract.

What this does not include

The block is being built by a contractor appointed separately by the client; our commission is the design, through to execution, and the coordination of it. The existing buildings and their structure predate this commission. The hotel operation, its brand and the furniture specification beyond the built-in joinery are the client’s. The work is on site and the interiors do not exist yet.

Images

A street wall standing on its own, with a concrete structure rising behind and above it; two people at the foot of it looking up, and a set of uprights leaning against the wall.
The façades stay and what stood behind them has been demolished.
Black and white: an area of the site between existing buildings, with walls all round, bars standing out of the foundations, rubble and a wheelbarrow on the ground.
A façade retention seen from inside: the walls standing, and the area between them empty.
Inside the structure: a concrete soffit and vertical elements above, a stone masonry wall below, and two long openings through which neighbouring tiled roofs are visible.
The old wall stays, and the new frame stands inside it.
Black and white: a floor under a dense array of metal uprights, with vertical elements receding into the distance.
The depth of the plot, seen from one of the floors.
Black and white: a figure in silhouette in the foreground, among uprights reading as vertical lines, with daylight beyond.
The structure seen from inside.
Black and white, looking out from the edge of a floor between uprights and boards to the balconied façades of the street below.
This is how close the neighbours are to the work.
The courtyard seen from the garden end: a long pool along the lawn, planted beds in board-marked concrete, and the three-storey block behind with oxblood window frames set into cream render.
The courtyard is the whole scheme: every apartment looks onto it.
The same courtyard from the opposite end, with parasols and loungers on a terracotta terrace, mature trees along the party wall and the pool in the foreground.
Looking back towards the street block, with the attic level set back above.
The corner of the block from the street: a rendered three-storey elevation with regularly spaced windows in oxblood frames, a recessed shopfront at ground level and neighbouring buildings on either side.
It is a rehabilitation inside an occupied street, not a free-standing hotel.
A one-bedroom apartment: kitchen counter in dark wood on the left, a round dining table with four chairs, a paper pendant, and a glazed door to the courtyard behind a large plant.
A one-bedroom of 34 to 36 m²: kitchen, dining and living in one room.
Close view of the kitchen block: a dark wood counter with an integrated hob and sink, a slim shelf above holding a lamp and a few objects, and a checkerboard tile strip in the floor alongside.
The same joinery detail repeats in all sixteen apartments.
A bedroom with a low bed against a plain plastered wall, a small desk under the window, and a full-height glazed door standing open onto the courtyard.
Every bedroom takes its light from the courtyard side.
A bathroom open to the bedroom around a freestanding plastered pier: walk-in shower, wall-hung basin and a bathrobe on a hook, all over the same terracotta floor.
The bathrooms run from 2,3 to 4,8 m²; the plan buys space by not walling them in.
The shared workspace at the foot of the main stair: terracotta treads with timber nosings, a dark wood dado following the flight up, wayfinding letters on the wall and a work table with stools below.
Reception, bar, lounge and workspace are 264 m² of the 951.
