Buildings thatage well.
The studio
We are 24 architects and interior designers making homes, workplaces and public buildings across Portugal and Spain. Fewer, better materials. Daylight first. Buildings that are cheaper to run than the ones they replace.
Selected work
Projects
Approach
From the first line to the last brick.
Every project starts as a hand sketch on the site itself. Drag across the image to compare our first concept drawing for Casa Pinhal with the finished house, 26 months later.
- 01
Read the site
Sun, wind, slope and neighbours decide the shape before we do.
- 02
Few materials, done well
Usually three: one for structure, one for skin, one for the hand.
- 03
Cost you can see
A live budget from the first meeting. No surprises at tender.
Process
Five stages. One team.
The same architect leads your project from the first visit to handing you the keys. Here's what each stage involves and how long it usually takes.
Partners
The people who draw the first line.

Have a site, or just an idea?
Tell us a little about it. A partner reads every enquiry and replies within three working days, usually with a few questions and a date for a site visit.
