Estúdio Maré — Architects · Lisbon
Architecture, slowly.
Five architects, eleven projects, since 2014
↓ scroll
Estúdio Maré is a small architecture practice in Lisbon. We design houses, public buildings, and the occasional object. We work slowly, with attention to materials, light, and the histories of the places we build in. We do not believe in style. We believe in being precise about what each project asks for.
Most of our work is in Portugal. Some of it is elsewhere.
