Bathed in Light : Modern Oasis with Old world Charm

Luxury through Simplicity
Two Pombaline style buildings combined to form a contemporary oasis that pays homage to its past glory. Set within the bustling Alfama neighbourhood, amongst many of its grandest hallmarks, Trigo is a sanctuary. Light is celebrated in every way possible. The first-class finishings and colour palette- like its name Trigo (wheat), embody simplicity and elegance. A joy for the discerning eye, sustenance for the soul.
Apartments
Only two select 2-bedroom units remain obtainable in this alluring project. Spacious living rooms with high ceilings and open-plan kitchens provide the perfect convivial atmosphere for those who enjoy entertaining. The bedrooms are all equipped with a private bathroom, and light is invited in through the tall windows of the balconies, dormer windows and the skylights engraved in typical Pombaline recesses.
This is contemporary comfort at its core.
Know the Neighbourhood
Fado, Lisbon’s essence in song-form, is celebrated in the neighbouring Fado Museum. The Chafariz D’el Rei and Chafariz de Dentro frame Rua Terreiro do Trigo like a pair of iconic book ends. Sé, Lisbon’s ancient cathedral is a stone's’ throw away, as is one of the best viewpoints in the city- Miradouro das Portas do Sol (Doors of the Sun).
Praça do Comércio and the esplanade of Campo das Cebolas are other famous neighbours to Trigo - popular for leisure, sports and strolls along the Tagus. For the culturally inclined, visits to Casa dos Bicos- headquarters of the José Saramago Foundation are a must.
Alfama is Lisbon and Lisbon is Alfama - filled with light, a patchwork quilt of tiles, cobbles and sky, reflected in the resplendence of the River Tagus.
