Preliminary study
Site analysis, urban and regulatory context, massing and first layout options to understand project feasibility.
Architectural projects shaped from context to site.
We support developers and owners with architectural projects for housing, commercial spaces and facilities, integrating urban context, regulatory requirements and coordination with engineering.
Who this service is for
Developers and owners who need clarity from day one
We work with private and public clients who need an architecture team that connects project vision with the real constraints of site, regulation and engineering disciplines.
- Real estate developers. New build or refurbishment projects requiring a solid technical framework.
- Private owners. Houses, small buildings and tailored adaptations to specific uses.
- Public entities. Facilities, service buildings and projects in consolidated urban contexts.
Key benefits
Fewer surprises, more informed decisions
Our focus is to reduce uncertainty: clarifying what is feasible on site, anticipating permitting constraints and aligning architecture with engineering and consulting from the start.
- Technical and regulatory views aligned. Less rework between feasibility study, project and permitting.
- Documented decisions. Each stage produces information that can be shared with all stakeholders.
- Integration with disciplines. Architecture prepared to receive structures, HVAC, water, electrical and fire safety.
Technical scope
From feasibility study to execution drawings
We adapt the level of detail to the project stage and to the decisions the client needs to make at each moment.
Architecture project
Definition of plans, sections, elevations and key spatial and constructive decisions, ready to align with disciplines.
Permitting & execution
Documents for permitting with municipalities and, when applicable, development towards execution and construction.
Regulatory context
Architecture designed with regulation in mind
We consider municipal regulations, technical standards and authority requirements early on, to reduce surprises along the process.
- Urban compatibility. Integration with planning rules, indices, alignments and heights.
- Safety and accessibility requirements. Rules applicable to each type of use.
- Coordination with engineering. Preparing the project so disciplines can be integrated without losing coherence.
Next step
Confirm the scope of your architectural project
A 15–20 minute initial call is enough to understand the project type, context and level of support needed.

Common questions about architecture and permitting
Do you handle permitting with the municipality?
Yes. We prepare the architectural documents and support the permitting process with the relevant municipality.
Do you work across the country?
We work on projects throughout Portugal, with a closer presence in Lisbon, Grândola and Cartaxo.
How long does an architecture project take?
It depends on the size and type of permitting. A 15–20 minute initial call is enough to estimate the timeline.
Do you also deliver engineering disciplines?
Yes. Engineering disciplines are coordinated by the same team, which reduces rework and timelines.
