Studio
We design buildings people love.
We are an award winning studio based in Lisbon built up by a collective of architects, designers and problem-solvers focused to deliver exciting and challenging projects throughout a forward thinking design approach.
We work closely with our clients in order to develop innovative, responsive and cost effective design through a collaborative environment and knowledge-based approach that meets their needs.
Our understanding of commercial, financial and construction viability combined with a rigorous design review guarantees that every aspect of a client brief is comprehensively understood and delivered at the highest standard. We’ve contributed to a large range of projects in Portugal and continually working internationally for both private and public sectors. We are design experts. Our team is made up by architects, designers, urbanists and engineers focused to deliver the most of a prospect project.
João Lisboa (Partner)
We are a practice that embraces and extends the power of technology across all of our work. We’re highly adept at Building Information Modelling (BIM) and are passionate advocates of what we believe could bring an additional input to the market. Our aim is to guarantee that the project is viable trough a direct, explicit and transparent way of communication that could enable confidence from the main Client in order to invest on any potential development.

Virtual Reality
We have integrated Virtual Reality into our design process, allowing our clients to be immersed in the building, experiencing what it is like to walk through every space. This level of visualisation is far beyond what can be achieved through looking at drawings and our clients find they can make quicker and better informed decisions.
Design Models
We are serious advocates of designing in 3D dimensional space, either in a virtual reality environment or in a phisical space by creating scale models of all our projects that will pass during all design stages – From Concept to Completion. This enables our team of architects and engineers to bring to the project an accute design strategy in order to meet the requested aesthetic/architectural/sculptural result.
Design Process
We like to understand the design process of each project as a deep journey that starts and ends on site. The site provides us plenty of information for a starting point, but is also there, during the construction stage, that ideas are turned into reality. In-between, there are plenty of testing periods using different techniques, from hand sketch to 2D drawings, from 3D models to physical models.
