Architecture and interiors Lisbon

Rooms that hold the light.

We design houses, apartments and small workplaces from the first sketch to the last oak shelf. It starts as a drawing. Scroll to build the corridor and walk it, then click a frame to step closer.

Selected work

Six rooms, six briefs.

Every project on this page is a sample to show how the studio presents its work. Open one to read the brief, the scope and what changed.

What we do

One studio, from structure to the door handle.

Architects and interior designers at the same table, so the plan, the light and the joinery are decided together instead of patched together later.

  • 01

    Architecture

    New houses, extensions and small buildings. Feasibility, planning drawings, technical design and site supervision.

  • 02

    Interior design

    Layouts, lighting plans, finishes and furniture for homes and small workplaces, drawn to the centimetre.

  • 03

    Renovation

    Opening up tired flats and old buildings, keeping what has character and fixing what does not.

  • 04

    Joinery and furniture

    Built in oak kitchens, shelving and stairs, designed in house and made with local workshops.

How a plan comes together

Walls first. Then light. Then life.

  1. 01Structure. The outer walls and the fixed points.
  2. 02Rooms. Partitions set by how you move and gather.
  3. 03Openings. Doors swing, windows follow the sun.
  4. 04Furniture. The oak table sits where the morning light lands.

The material library

Hold a lamp over it.

Move your pointer, or drag a finger, across the table. We choose every finish in raking light, because that is how you will live with it.

Working together

Four stages, no surprises.

  1. Site visit

    We walk the space with you, measure, photograph and listen to how you want to live or work.

  2. Concept

    Plans, sections and a material board. Two rounds of changes are part of the process.

  3. Technical design

    Drawings for permits and builders, a lighting plan and a clear schedule of finishes.

  4. On site

    We visit weekly, answer the builder's questions and sign off every detail before handover.

Clients

In their words.

"They moved one wall and the whole flat started breathing. Afternoon light now reaches the kitchen."
Sample quote Homeowner, renovation
"Every drawing answered the question before our builder asked it. The oak stair is the best thing in the house."
Sample quote Client, new build

Questions

Before you call.

Do you take on small projects?

Yes. A single kitchen or one room is welcome. Small projects are often where good detailing matters most.

Can you handle planning permission?

We prepare the drawings and documents, submit them and deal with the council's questions on your behalf.

How are fees worked out?

After the site visit we send a written fee proposal based on the scope and the stages you need. No fixed prices are shown here because every brief differs.

Do you work with our own builder?

Of course. We can also recommend builders and makers we have worked with before.

Where do you work?

Mostly in and around Lisbon, and further afield for the right project.
