Profile
We are a team of architects based in Oporto, Portugal. We have worked in several projects with varied programs within the residential and services scope. Our main motivation has been the development of new ideas and concepts in housing, which is, from our point of view, one of the main areas within the architecture’s practice. We promote our work by questioning the different perspectives of space use, the adaptation of buildings to the contemporary needs or, more specifically, the intentions of its future users.
The relationship with its surroundings is the trigger for the base definitions of a conscious intervention with regards to the use of natural resources, allowing to an efficient exploitation of the site’s characteristics. A necessarily constructive approach incorporates the conceptual philosophy of the entire challenge of the project, valuing the detail that shall define the whole of the project. We explore the creation of Value through design, which over time becomes a brand, which means for us a renewed starting point. Paulo Fernandes Silva - team leader.
