The Studio

The Studio

Concept, values and a way of working built to reduce uncertainty.

01

Our concept

We believe good architecture represents good business.

A project is never just a building. A strong concept combined with an iconic identity makes it a success in terms of its value.

We bring that ambition to every challenge — and every project is unique and exclusive.

The current paradigm

Looking at architectural and construction practice in Portugal, we identified a recurring challenge: the lack of coordination between the different phases of a project and the people involved in the process.

When decisions and details are left unresolved until construction, unforeseen issues can arise with an impact on timelines and costs. We believe a well-developed project and clear communication are essential to reduce that uncertainty and let the client move forward with greater confidence.

Our method · BIM

We work with BIM (Building Information Modelling): the different disciplines are coordinated in a shared model, developed according to the complexity of each project — up to LOD 500.

Applied to the execution project, this allows planning and costs to be anticipated more reliably and reduces omissions along the way. At the end, the client receives the model.

01

Vision

A concept before a building — iconic, commercial, and made to last.

02

Detail

The details are not just details — they make the difference.

03

BIM Method

We work in BIM — one coordinated model that reduces omissions and keeps everyone informed.

04

Trust

Clear language, fewer surprises, a confident client.

Our method · BIM

Massing

Volume, height and position on the plot — the idea takes shape.

Approximate geometry

Floors, openings and the first spatial layout.

Precise geometry

Exact dimensions and quantities — the basis for reliable quotes.

Coordination

Structure, water, air and power in one model. Clashes are solved on screen, not on site.

Every part defined

Each layer detailed for fabrication and installation.

As built

The complete model — the house exactly as it will stand.

  • Fewer errors on site
  • Better cost control
  • Your project in 3D
  • Disciplines coordinated
  • Fewer surprises

At the end, the model is yours.

How we work

From feasibility study to site

01

Preliminary study & feasibility

Together we define the brief and check its feasibility; the preliminary concept is then developed on the basis of the site and the applicable regulations.

02

Licensing

Preparation of the formal process for approval by the municipality and other authorities, including the legally required engineering projects.

03

Execution project

Detailed project with materials, construction details and bill of quantities — the basis for reliable quotes from contractors.

04

Site supervision

We follow the construction so the result matches the design, clarifying questions and guiding unforeseen situations.

Let us take your creation
beyond what the eyes can see.
