For over two decades, YOO Inspired by Starck has redefined the way we live, fusing design, architecture and philosophy to transform homes into experiences. Now, for the first time, YOO Inspired by Starck arrives in Portugal, introducing a lifestyle that is utterly original and unmistakably YOO.

Who Is YOO?

Founded by global property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and visionary designer Philippe Starck, YOO is one of the most celebrated names in design-led real estate. With more than 85 projects across 36 countries, YOO creates homes that are not only visually stunning but also human-centered, emotionally resonant and inspired by place.

YOO projects don’t just reflect a location, they shape it. Now, that global vision finds a new home in Lisbon.

The First YOO Inspired by Starck Project in Portugal

YOO Lisbon is the first-ever development by YOO Inspired by Starck in Portugal, uniting two distinct lifestyle concepts:

YOO Lisbon South Bay

Nestled in a 100-hectare protected forest just south of the Tagus, YOO Lisbon South Bay offers design-led villas, townhouses and apartments shaped by YOO’s interior styles: Nature and Culture. Residents enjoy access to private golf, a dedicated wellness offering and a private Beach Club, where barefoot luxury and design come together under the Portuguese sun.

YOO Lisbon Downtown – Coming Soon

Set along the riverfront in Alcântara, this urban retreat will feature sleek, contemporary apartments designed for modern city living. Every home will blend innovation with elegance, offering interiors that will reflect YOO Inspired by Starck’s timeless aesthetic.

More Than a Look. A Lifestyle

At YOO Lisbon, every design detail is intentional. From textures and lighting to materials and flow, every decision is made to enhance how you feel in your home.

Whether you’re surrounded by pine trees in South Bay, soaking up views of the Tagus in Downtown, or enjoying the curated lifestyle of the Beach Club, you’ll experience the YOO Inspired by Starck philosophy in every moment.

Why This Matters

Portugal is a country of craft, soul and simplicity, values that YOO has long championed. The arrival of YOO Inspired by Starck in Lisbon marks more than a real estate debut. It’s a design milestone, a convergence of innovation, heritage and home.

For those seeking to buy a home in Lisbon, this is an invitation to live in something truly unique, a residence shaped by one of the most respected design studios in the world.
