Residential Design, Domestic Design
Portugal including islands.
Design direction
A warm editorial presence instead of a cold corporate studio template.
The visual direction draws from warm woods, chrome, sculptural geometry, creamy neutrals, and confident colour accents, while keeping the overall experience calm and low-motion.
Style references from the questionnaire point clearly toward Art Deco, Bauhaus, 70s revival, contemporary restraint, and mid-century structure. The result is a composed, sophisticated layout that feels confident without becoming loud.

About the practice
Architecture shaped by art, curiosity, and lived experience.
The practice is rooted in an early connection to the arts, a sensitivity to form and material, and a close relationship with architecture from a young age.
Growing up in a large family deeply connected to the arts, she was exposed early on to a variety of creative practices—from ceramic painting, oil painting , sculpture etc. These experiences shaped her sensitivity to form, material, and expression, laying the groundwork for the creative path that would eventually support the idea of studying architecture.
Also, from a young age, she was in close contact with professionals from various architectural disciplines, which naturally nurtured her curiosity and understanding of the profession. Observing the creative process and conversations around architecture helped shape a strong connection to the field, gradually transforming an early fascination into a clear and lasting interest in pursuing architecture as a path.
Read the full storyHow the work unfolds
A measured process from first conversation to final handover.
The process answer from the questionnaire is detailed and carefully structured, so it is turned directly into a six-step framework.
Initial meeting
The first meeting is used to understand the client, the project, and the references that should inform it. A proposed plan of action, fee proposal, and initial concept presentation follow.
Concept presentation
Early design ideas are presented, discussed, and refined together while scope, expectations, and fees are clarified.
Design development and approvals
Once the initial sketches are approved, the project is developed in more detail and any required City Hall procedures and permits are handled.
Technical drawings and coordination
Construction drawings, material choices, brands, and technical details are prepared while coordination with contractors and suppliers begins.
Construction management
During construction, the site is overseen and coordinated to keep the project aligned with the design intent and specification.
Final delivery and documentation
The completed result is documented and handed over with the relevant drawings and information for the finished space.
Projects
A portfolio structure ready for case studies, imagery, and detailed project data.
The site is prepared for five case studies, before-and-after material, and renders. Photography and project-specific content can be dropped in as soon as it is ready.
