The Madame Curie project marks EDAA’s entry into Europe through its most recent development in Lisbon. Located on a corner in the Santo Domingo de Benfica district, this 1950s apartment is distinguished by a continuous balcony that opens the home to the city. With 70 m², it was originally fragmented into a corridor and small enclosed rooms. The intervention opens and connects the spaces to configure a comfortable and fluid T2, with the kitchen integrated into the living-dining area and the corner balcony.

The proposal is based on a simple palette of materials that enhances natural light and strengthens spatial continuity: natural woods in floors, doors and kitchen; bathrooms that recover their character with green tiles; and layouts that allow continuous flows of light. The work of multidisciplinary artist Yupica is integrated into the project, emanating a warm luminosity.

Madame Curie is an essay on how a simple and exact intervention can transform a space: it does not seek to disguise the passage of time, but to work with it. The structural base is maintained as support, and the opening of the spaces introduces a contemporary language that reconciles with memory.
