About Lisbon Oasis

Lisbon Oasis offers modern 9 flats in historical buildings in the old neighbourhood of Lisbon. All flats have been completely refurbished and redesigned while keeping a historical touch. International prize-winning architect Luis Pereira of PM-ARQ was responsible for a refurbishment which would allow for modern living in historical settings – while keeping emissions to a minimum!

The 9 flats are located in three building in three ‘mini’ neighbourhoods that are all in the heart of the ancient part of Lisbon – Alfama, São Vicente and Mouraria. The buildings dates back to 1720’s, 1850’s and 1690’s but were all done up within the last three years.

While maintaining an historical touch, the flats provide facilities for convenient and easy living, such as Air conditioning, heating, Satelite dish, LCD TV’s, DVD-players, etc.

Furthermore, facing global warming, the following steps have been taken in order to reduce CO2-emissions:

• Proper insulation using a mixture of Rockwool and polyurethane (foam)
• Double-glazed windows with low λ-values (meaning with low heat loss)
• Energy-efficient (Class A) refrigerators
• Energy-efficient (Class A) water boilers
• LCD flat screens (which uses around 40% less energy than ordinary TV’s)
• Energy-efficient combined Air Conditioners and heaters (Class B, which is currently the most energy-efficient around for this kind of devise)
• Partial use of energy-saving light bulbs and LEDs (Light Emission Diodes). (Only partial as energy-saving light bulbs tend to give a somewhat ‘cold’ light).

Solar energy was considered and requested but was not allowed by Lisbon town hall due to restrictions in areas of high historical value (where buildings are located).

Lisbon Oasis is charming apartments for the ideal holiday in Lisbon – at affordable prices.
