Studio

We believe that architecture has a direct impact on quality of life, on the identity of places and on their value.

We design enduring, high-quality buildings that respond to contemporary demands while establishing a meaningful relationship with their context.

Machado Costa Architects is an experienced and dedicated architectural practice, deeply involved in every project. We work closely with our clients, ensuring the direct involvement of the studio’s principals throughout the entire process.

We approach architecture as an integrated discipline, bringing together design, context, feasibility and construction from the outset.

With experience in housing, hospitality, tourism and public and institutional buildings, we work across different scales — from urban planning to architecture, renovation, interiors and landscape.

Our work combines architectural ambition with rigour, efficiency and a commitment to creating lasting value.
