The 180 m² office for SAN Holding was conceived as a workspace that conveys the institution’s identity through clarity of layout, controlled material use and spatial refinement. The design develops around a sequence of gradually increasing privacy. The reception and waiting area form the most public zone. These are followed by two meeting rooms positioned on opposite sides of the corridor. The plan then transitions into an open office aligned along the façade so that staff can benefit from daylight throughout the day. The sequence continues with a guest meeting room placed close to the façade and concludes with the executive offices. ZM Yasa Photography ZM Yasa Photography The  primary surfaces of th... More

Mosca.Bianca is a workshop designed as an exhibition space. A ceramic workshop where a single sculptural gesture portrays the entire process of terracotta crafting.The form is shaped like clay on the potter's wheel, molded twisting from the ceiling. The space is tensed by the centripetal force of the design gesture, concentrating the atmosphere around a single zenithal light. Catalogo® Like a sacral element, perfectly aligning with the lamp that pierces the stereotomic shape above, a seemingly monolithic exhibit altar diagonally stands out in the space.Upon closer observation, the monolith declares itself autonomous, as an antithesis to the surrounding stereotomic space, a tectonic and lightweight piece of furniture. As soon as th... More

The new Cultural Center is located in a historic setting that is part of the Flix agricultural cooperative complex. The new space contributes to the recovery and enhancement of the building's historical and social features and elements. The basic interventions to enable the new center's use are: foundation and ground stability, structural consolidation, and comfort of the interior spaces.

Inside, the nave's typological structure is preserved and designed to ensure maximum comfort. A ceramic finish and ceramic battens are proposed to improve... More

The west and a single material, brick forming folds together, in response to the incidence of the Sun. Leonardo Méndez Without “doors” or “windows” as an expression of sobriety and introspection, detached from the ground so as not to interrupt the creeping vegetation. Leonardo Méndez Leonardo Méndez With these premises, progress was made to refunctionalize and adapt a pre-existing work to office use. The living and dynamic element of architecture, natural light, penetrates all the spaces of the project, drawing a matrix, a projection of summoned brick that runs through floors and walls. Leonardo Méndez Leonardo Méndez Since we are not able to display the... More

Sobriety is in this club framed in a monochrome palette with electrifying notes in yellow, the brand's identity color. www.garces.pt Monochrome can be a weird word and mean different things. For us, it was a way to break through on another track. In times when the use of color can be so extreme and intense, we decided to explore an... More

This new build is located in a small commercial street in the centre of Algés, just outside Lisbon towards Cascais. The design seeks to elevate the building, by creating a void on ground level, thus sustaining the building between the two neighbouring buildings. This void creates a rich atmosphere for the pedestrian street and allows for parking for the residential flats. Francisco Nogueira Francisco Nogueira Francisco Nogueira Each apartment has balconies on both facades. The balcony balustrades are unfolded into beautiful benches coated in ceramic tiles designed by an award-winning ceramic artist Maria Ana Vasco Costa. Francisco Nogueira Francisco Nogueira More
