merooficina is an office for architecture that aims to create strategies to design quotidians.
It’s a Porto based office, founded by Catarina Ribeiro and Vitório Leite, which is engendering projects as participated and pragmatic processes, seeking to programme ways of life, create atmospheres and let to new appropriations.
mero is the word for pure and simple, an essential part, without mixture.
merooficina is using architecture as a comeback to the elementary, to the ground of each project, trying to answer to problems, expectations, habits and ambitions, on a useful, simple and beautiful way.
