Established in 2007 in order to give sequence to the activities of Architects João Ribeiro de Carvalho and Miguel Ribeiro de Carvalho in their own studio and in collaboration with other offices.
Its action is based on a team organised in such a way as to respond to the needs of all kinds of projects in the field of Architecture, Urbanism, Interiors and Design, using the assistance of collaborators and firms with recognized technical and professional competence suited to each case.
Projects are developed from conception to final construction stage, focusing on detailing and definition of materials within the framework of the Construction Site Project as a guarantee of compliance with the adopted solutions, the proper execution of construction work and a rigorous cost control.
The modelling of space, in the embodiment of a program to be inserted within a given environment, is always studied in collaboration with the necessary technical expertise. Thus, we always consider in the framework of assignments the coordination of complementary engineering projects and supervising the proceedings within the official licensing bodies.
Our long experience at the level of project conception and construction, combined with a constant updating with regards to offering new solutions and materials, and the use of work tools and more accurate technical tools, allows us to create innovative proposals which seek to satisfy the client’s objectives.
