Integrated architecture and interiors,considered as a whole.
Residential projects that bring together architecture, interiors, materiality, comfort and energy efficiency — from the first decision to the finished building.

I believe the best spaces come from an integrated vision.
Architecture, interiors, lighting, materials and construction are decisions that influence one another from the outset. I develop every project from a single overall view, working across scales — from the placement on the site to the drawing of the last detail.
A selection of my work.
Residential and commercial projects developed across different contexts, scales and moments, with attention to space, materiality and the way of living.
Experience, sensibility and rigour at every scale of the project.
For more than twenty years I have worked on residential and commercial architecture and interiors. My approach combines a careful reading of space, construction knowledge and technical rigour to create spaces that are coherent, comfortable and built to last.
In 2017 I chose Portugal as home and established the studio in Aveiro, where I have developed my practice over the past nine years. In 2025 I completed the international Certified Passive House Designer qualification, deepening an approach to architecture that integrates energy efficiency, thermal comfort, indoor air quality and durability from the earliest project decisions.
“Every project begins from a whole view — from space to material, from architecture to the way of living.”
A practice recognised beyond the studio.

From Leiria across all of Portugal.
After nine years in Aveiro, the studio begins a new chapter in Leiria. I develop projects across different regions of Portugal — each point on the map marks a municipality where my work has already been present. Support happens on site or entirely remotely, according to the stage and context of each project.

Architecture considered in all its dimensions.
From new-build projects to the transformation of existing spaces, I develop architecture and interiors from an integrated view, reconciling space, materiality, comfort, performance and the way each client lives.
01
Architecture & Passive House
Comfort begins with the first decisions.
In new-build projects the site, solar orientation, surroundings, brief, materials and performance are considered together from the design stage onwards. My qualification as a Certified Passive House Designer lets me build Passive House principles into the earliest decisions, working towards buildings that are more efficient, more comfortable, healthier and longer-lasting.
An approach capable of substantially reducing heating and cooling demand — reductions in the order of 90% are achievable — without compromising architecture, comfort or spatial quality.
02
Interior Architecture
Spaces shaped around the people who live in them.
Residential and commercial projects, from focused interventions to full renovations. Space, layout, lighting, materials, bespoke joinery and detail are developed together, balancing function, identity and materiality.
Clarity at every stage. Coherence across all of them.
Understand
I take in the place, the property, the needs, the priorities and the way each client lives.
Conceive
I build a coherent architectural vision, balancing aesthetics, function, comfort, regulation and investment.
Develop
I work through materials, lighting, technical solutions, joinery, equipment and everything the build requires.
Coordinate
I bring together decisions, engineering disciplines, suppliers and teams to protect the overall intent of the project.
Realise
I follow the build and the final choices, within the agreed scope, until the project takes shape.
Let us think about your next space — together.
Every collaboration starts by understanding the place, the stage it has reached and what you intend to build or transform.
