Gracinha Viterbo brings flair to Castilho 203

January 12, 2022

Leading Portuguese practice Viterbo Interior Design has recently unveiled the amenities of Portugal’s most prominent residential development to date: Castilho 203.


Headed by Gracinha Viterbo, Viterbo Interior Design was commissioned to design the entrance lobby, indoor swimming pool, outdoor pool area, spa, gym, and cinema of the building. Viterbo’s design scheme brings a sense of mystery and discovery to the communal areas of Castilho 203 inspired by Lisbon’s narrow alleys and unexpected turns. Challenged to create interiors that would not feel disconnected from the building’s impactful architecture, Viterbo plays with tactile surfaces and organic shapes to create an almost futuristic journey, where fluid lines and organic shapes counterbalance the very robust and linear building by XR Architects.



Inspired by Lisbon’s contrasting culture, design and architecture, Gracinha Viterbo wanted to provide a sense of surprise in every space. Triple height ceilings and large windows flood the lobby with natural light, and a tall chandelier is Viterbo’s introduction to what is to happen in the rooms to come.

As with every Viterbo ID project, all details were carefully thought and exquisite Portuguese craftsmanship can be found in every corner. Featuring bespoke art installations by contemporary artists as well as established and young brands, Viterbo’s design of Castilho 203 seamlessly incorporates the work of several local master artisans working in wood, copper, marble and brass. At the spa’s front desk, a suspended installation by Floral Designer Violetta Goldaracena transforms what would otherwise be a rather dark area. Linens and velvets also feature in Viterbo’s earthy material selection.

At the center of it all, functioning as the tranquil heart of the hotel is a 4000 sq.m man-made lake with suites and hotel facilities developing naturally around it. The calming, transforming power of water flowing freely through the veins of the Olea All Suite Hotel cannot be understated.
