Century-old vaults and hydraulic mosaics: a flagship store completed in three months in the heart of Lisbon.

Location:
Chiado, Lisboa
About the Project

Huître was responsible for the complete refurbishment of this prestigious flagship store in Chiado, where the challenge was clear: to preserve the historic soul of the space whilst creating a contemporary retail environment worthy of Benamôr’s century-old identity. The fit-out incorporated high-quality materials of distinction – wood-clad porticos, original hydraulic mosaics, marble stonework and lime-based mineral finishes – in a space that exudes Lisbon tradition without compromising on sophistication.

Key Challenges

Consolidating century-old vaults without compromising the building’s structural integrity was the central challenge of this refurbishment project in Lisbon. The historic location in Chiado imposed severe logistical constraints: restricted access, heavy pedestrian traffic and strict site schedules – all managed within a total timeframe of just three months.
