An architectural studio with clarity, structure, and purpose from concept to completion.

Founded in Porto in 2026 by architect Mauricio Souza, the studio represents the culmination of more than a decade of professional experience in architecture, design, and the development of highly demanding projects. Trained in Architecture and Urbanism in Brazil and holding a Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Lisbon, Mauricio Souza has built a career shaped by international experience and by his involvement in projects developed and completed across Brazil and Europe. This trajectory allows the studio to bring together diverse cultural, technical, and construction perspectives within a contemporary, rigorous, and context-sensitive approach.

The studio specializes in high-end architectural projects, with a particular focus on single-family and multi-family residences, mixed-use developments, hospitality — especially hotels, resorts, and wellness spaces — as well as commercial projects. Each project begins with a careful understanding of the site, the program, and the needs of those who will inhabit or experience the space.

Architecture, interiors, materiality, landscape, and detail are conceived as integral parts of a unified vision, ensuring coherence from the initial concept through to execution. The studio’s approach combines conceptual clarity, functionality, attention to detail, and a constant pursuit of spatial and construction quality. The aim is to create contemporary, refined, and timeless architecture capable of establishing a lasting relationship between space, context, and experience.
