Amélie and Wolfgang Zichy moved to Lisbon in 2013. Here they found a European city that still had authenticity, that still had the charm of the old world, that still had the “slow pace” that makes life interesting. They discovered a breathtaking patio lost beside one of the city’s main “temples” – The National Pantheon. This patio had all the history and richness of the city and was filled with lost treasures and secret spots. In the patio there were several stunning buildings. One had been an old distillery. Here, there were abandoned spirit bottles from an age gone by. These brought soul to the abandoned warehouse. Cars from the 50 ́s were left behind as if to invite the finder to bring them new life. All of these items whispered to them. Every single one had so many stories to tell. It was as if time had stopped and they had been invited to continue the story. The extraordinary energy of this magical place, with its stunning surroundings, the patina of time, its mysteries, compelled them to want the space to be able to tell a new story, to “sing a new song”. Being passionate about music and avid collectors of art, appreciating the community of incredible musicians and artists who live in Lisbon, they decided in fact to bring new life to this place.
