Privilege Gardens gallery and the finishes behind it
What the six renders show, the named maker behind each surface, and the honest caveat that nothing here is a photograph yet.
Key findings
- 01All 6 interior images are illustrative CGI renders, not photographs — Portuguese law (Decree-Law 67/2007) requires that disclosure, and we make it plainly: there is no built apartment to shoot before the expected 2027 delivery
- 02The named kitchen and climate schedule is Bosch appliances, a Fafstone worktop, Daikin air conditioning, an Ariston heat-pump for hot water and Zehnder ComfoAir Flex ventilation
- 03Floors are oak-grain vinyl (EASYFLOOR TARIFA by Novus) in living areas, rectified ceramic in wet rooms and natural stone in the entrance halls — oak-grain, not solid oak
- 04The envelope is a clamped natural-stone ventilated façade with Cortizo COR Vision thermally broken low-E glazing, rated A+ for energy across 7 floors
Why it matters: A gallery sells a feeling; a buyer relocating from abroad needs the schedule underneath it. So this piece pairs the six interior renders with the named specification they depict — the actual makers, not adjectives — and discloses up front that all 6 images are illustrative CGI renders, because the building is expected in 2027 and nothing is built to photograph.
Six interior renders carry the Privilege Gardens gallery, across 32 apartments on 7 floors in T2 and T3 layouts from about 80 to 142 m². Behind the pictures sits a named specification — Bosch in the kitchen, Daikin climate, Otis lifts, Cortizo glazing, Valadares sanitaryware. This piece reads the gallery room by room, lists the makers, and opens with the caveat that matters most: every image here is an illustrative render, not a photograph. This is the visual companion to the Privilege Gardens development guide and the T2 and T3 apartment types.
We say it plainly because Portuguese law (Decree-Law 67/2007) requires it, and because honesty is the point: delivery is expected in 2027, so there is no built apartment to photograph. What the renders show is design intent and the real schedule beneath it — not a delivered room.
The six renders, room by room
The gallery moves through the apartment the way you would walk it. The first cell is the living room overlooking Antas; then the main bedroom, a bathroom, a living room with a library wall, the open-plan kitchen, and a balcony view out across the neighbourhood. Read together, the 6 frames are less a mood board than a tour of the same specification from 6 angles.
What you are looking at, in each, is the schedule below. The renders exist to show how oak-grain vinyl, a Fafstone worktop and a ventilated stone wall read in daylight — not to dress the rooms in anything that will not be built.
The named schedule, surface by surface
The value of a gallery for a relocating buyer is the maker behind each surface. Here is the room-by-room schedule, every line a named supplier rather than an adjective.
| Room / system | Material | Named maker | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living areas (floor) | Oak-grain vinyl | EASYFLOOR TARIFA by Novus | |
| Wet areas / halls (floor) | Rectified ceramic / natural stone | — | |
| Kitchen | Lacquered MDF + Fafstone worktop | Bosch appliances | |
| Bathrooms | Nanoglass countertop + ceramics | Valadares · OFA mixers | |
| Climate & hot water | A/C + heat-pump DHW + MVHR | Daikin · Ariston · Zehnder | |
| Façade & windows | Ventilated stone + low-E glazing | Cortizo COR Vision | |
| Comfort & security | Lift · intercom · door · switchgear | Otis · Elvox · Portfire · Hager |

Floors: oak-grain vinyl, not solid oak
The floor is the easiest thing to overstate, so we will be exact. Living areas use oak-grain vinyl — the EASYFLOOR TARIFA line by Novus — chosen for the warm oak look with the dent- and water-resistance of vinyl underfoot. It is oak-grain, not solid oak, and we do not claim a forest or a quarry of origin for it. Wet areas switch to rectified ceramic, and the 2 entrance halls use natural stone. The logic is plain: keep the warm tone where you live, a harder surface where water and traffic concentrate.
"Oak-grain vinyl, not solid oak" is the kind of line a brochure usually avoids — which is exactly why we lead with it.
The kitchen and the climate core
The kitchen pairs water-resistant lacquered MDF cabinetry and a built-in stainless-steel sink with a Fafstone worktop, fitted with Bosch appliances. The comfort core is mechanical, not decorative: Daikin air conditioning, an Ariston heat-pump for hot water, and Zehnder ComfoAir Flex ventilation moving filtered air through the apartment. None of those 3 systems shows up in a render, but each is on the schedule.
Bathrooms run Valadares sanitaryware and shower trays, OFA mixers, a Nanoglass countertop and fixed transparent glass screens. Across the building, Otis carries the lifts, Elvox the video intercom, Hager the switchgear and a Portfire Portplus Reverse the apartment door.
The envelope behind the A+ rating
The façade is a clamped natural-stone ventilated system — stone hung off the structure with an air gap behind it, which lets the wall breathe and shades the insulation layer. Windows and sliding frames are Cortizo COR Vision, thermally broken with low-E double glazing. That envelope is part of why the apartments are rated A+ for energy across all 7 floors. As of June 2026, 19 of the 32 apartments are sold.
The honest limits
Three caveats keep this fair. First, and most important: every image in the gallery is an illustrative CGI render, not a photograph — the apartments are expected in 2027 and nothing is built to shoot, so treat each frame as design intent rather than a delivered room. Second, the swatches and renders are representative of each material category, not a literal guarantee of a single SKU or batch colour; stone and grain vary. Third, the floor is oak-grain vinyl, and we will not dress it up as solid oak or attach a provenance it does not have.
What survives those caveats is the part a buyer can actually use: a named schedule, supplier by supplier, that says what goes into a Privilege Gardens apartment rather than how it feels. The full picture of the building — its layouts, its parking, its place in Antas — sits in the development guide, and the room counts and areas in the T2 and T3 apartment types.
Are the Privilege Gardens gallery images photographs?
No. All six interior images are illustrative CGI renders, not photographs of a finished apartment. Portuguese law (Decree-Law 67/2007) requires that to be disclosed, and we state it plainly: the building is expected in 2027, so there is nothing built to photograph yet. The renders show the design intent and the named specification, not a delivered room.
What flooring is used at Privilege Gardens?
Living areas use oak-grain vinyl — the EASYFLOOR TARIFA line by Novus — chosen for the warm oak look with the resilience of vinyl underfoot. It is oak-grain, not solid oak. Wet areas use rectified ceramic tiles and the entrance halls use natural stone. The combination keeps the warm tone where you live and a harder surface where water and traffic concentrate.
Which appliance and equipment brands does Privilege Gardens specify?
The kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliances on a Fafstone worktop. Climate is Daikin air conditioning, hot water comes from an Ariston heat-pump system and ventilation is Zehnder ComfoAir Flex. Bathrooms use Valadares sanitaryware with OFA mixers and a Nanoglass countertop. The building runs Otis lifts, Elvox video intercom, Hager switchgear and a Portfire security door.
What windows and façade does the building use?
The façade is a clamped natural-stone ventilated system — stone hung off the structure with an air gap behind it. Windows and sliding frames are Cortizo COR Vision, thermally broken with low-E double glazing. Together with the insulation that sits behind a ventilated façade, that envelope is part of why the apartments are rated A+ for energy.
How many apartments are at Privilege Gardens and how many are left?
Privilege Gardens is 32 apartments across 7 floors, in T2 and T3 layouts from about 80 to 142 m², each with private parking. As of June 2026, 19 of the 32 are sold. Delivery is expected in 2027 — a date the developer works to rather than guarantees, which is also why the gallery is renders rather than photographs.
