The location came with the property. The proportions, with the building. Everything else, with you.

What makes a property singular is not what it contains, but the way everything in it relates. It is felt on arrival and impossible to describe on the way out.
Looking for Interior Architecture?Not assembled. Nothing is chosen on its own. A material is judged against the light that will fall on it, the piece in front of it and the hour of the day you will be in the room. That is why a house done this way reads as one thing rather than a collection of good decisions.
Not in the selection. Not every door is open, and access takes years to build, so it cannot be handed over.
Nothing is photographed, published or shown without prior consent. Some properties will never be seen by anyone.
A fabric is discontinued, a room changes use. We keep a record of everything that was specified, and it is there whenever it is needed again.
ARBOR · Quinta da Marinha, Cascais
Quinta da Marinha, Cascais. Different generations, different routines, and each with a place of its own. The bedrooms serve rest and work; the shared floors adjust to whoever is there that week. Fine wooden slats, drawn from the pine trunks outside, run through the walls and the furniture across every level.

01
01 · Permanence
We design for the hundredth impression, when the property has been lived in, changed, and lived in again.
02
02 · Subtraction
The easiest way to finish a space is to fill it. We almost always return a proposal with less, and the difference lies in the pieces that carry it.
03
03 · Origin
Few people can describe their own taste, and those who can are often describing someone else’s. It shows in what they keep, what they refuse and where they hesitate.
04
04 · Intention
A piece that stays out of inertia costs a room more than one that was chosen. We identify what is already there, what is worth keeping, what would gain from being restored, and what is quietly undermining the whole.
