Recently renovated by architect-owners, Apparatus Architects, Suspended Garden evokes modernist charm and integrates impeccable craftsmanship, elegance, and mid-century aesthetics. Situated in a residential tower from the 1970s in the historical and tranquil Restelo neighbourhood.

The kitchen features an illuminated marble countertop, offering views of the Palácio da Pena and neighbouring residential towers through the full-width windows. Balconies naturally extend from the multiple social rooms on the east side of the apartment, providing glimpses of the Tejo River and the vibrant life of Belém. Coloured glass mosaic tiles on the floor, accent walls and Venetian Stucco throughout, adds texture and help distinguish the living areas and reflect the streaming sunlight. The east bedroom includes a freestanding bathtub and a thoughtfully partitioned bathroom. To add the finishing touch, the house is equipped with modern conveniences and luxuries such as hidden domotics (Hvac, Audio, Home Theater), creating a comfortable living environment.

Restelo is an upscale residential neighbourhood that appeals to both locals and foreigners. It is known as a favoured place to live and work among architects.

The neighbourhood has a rich history as a planned residential community, with notable planning and buildings designed by Nuno Teotónio Pereira, Nuno Portas, and Zinho Antunes. Restelo is highly regarded for its proximity to parks, including the waterfront promenade and the Monsanto Forest, as well as its peaceful and quiet ambiance, abundant amenities, and arguably the best pastel in Portugal.
