Architecture & Design
Porto-based architect designing spaces that balance function, beauty, and sustainability. Every project begins with listening.
A minimalist white villa overlooking the Douro Valley. Clean lines, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Renovation of a 19th-century market hall into a mixed-use food and cultural space in downtown Porto.
A temporary exhibition pavilion built from reclaimed timber. Designed for disassembly and zero waste.
A biophilic office tower with vertical gardens, natural ventilation, and net-zero energy consumption.
Coastal boutique hotel inspired by traditional Portuguese fishing villages. 28 rooms, rooftop pool, ocean views.
A community library designed as a living room for the city. Flexible spaces, maker labs, and a rooftop garden.
Born in Porto, 1992. Graduated from FAUP (Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto) in 2016. Worked at Souto de Moura Architects before founding my own practice in 2020.
My work focuses on the relationship between buildings and their natural environment. I believe architecture should be invisible — it should feel inevitable, as if the building was always meant to be there.
For commissions, collaborations, or just a conversation about architecture.
