PROJECTS

Casa em Afife. Minimalist architecture designed to blend in with the natural slopes of the land

Casa em Afife, a villa with a swimming pool designed on the basis of a square module. Clean lines and lots of white: these are the elements that characterise a building designed to fit perfectly into its natural surroundings

Rehabilitation of a historical complex. Stone and wood alternate alternating in an interplay of textures and colours

In the rehabilitation project of the Real Vinícola complex, in the Portuguese municipality of Matosinhos, the Jazz Orchestra is also installed, a space dedicated to the promotion of interaction between art, technology and science through multidisciplinary projects.
