About us

manifesto

Countless inspirations, lots of journeys. Diverse perspectives and thoughts. We believe in the power of clear thinking. No restrains.No limitations. Because only a big idea can amplify a dream.We prefer creativity to trendiness. Comfort to aseptic solutions.Our architecture is about people. We listen to understand each client’s personality and uniqueness. We love new materials, new combinations, and new experiments. We translate abstraction into forms. We want architecture that uses less. We want architecture that always adds more. Architecture that is dreamy, surprising and attractive. Architecture that unrests and evokes emotions.

“As an architect, I see every project as an opportunity to create spaces that move people, spaces that resonate on an emotional level. At Paulo Martins Arquitectura e Design, we’re not just building structures—we’re crafting experiences that connect, provoke, and inspire. Our approach is rooted in experimentation, sustainability, and a deep respect for the human experience. We blur the lines between contrasts, from light and shade to interior and exterior, always seeking to create a seamless, hedonistic architecture that enhances well-being and embraces the future.”

our values

Creativity cannot exist without curiosity, and we are obsessively curious. We are always eager to learn about new materials, methods, and technologies, to explore new ideas, and innovate. Architecture and design are the tools that we use to express our creativity. We believe in their power to enhance lives and create a better world.

It’s at the core of everything we do. Every project is a challenge that starts with the same question: how can we do it better? This restless attitude runs right though everything we do: pioneering new technologies to design and build our projects.

We are focused on integrating sustainability into all aspects of what we do. It’s not only about choosing more sustainable materials or constructions methods, is also about adapting the projects to the local contexts, its social surroundings and its users.

We believe that every project begins and ends with our clients, and that our ability to foster these relationships is paramount. Our capacity to listen to our clients' needs and dreams, and to create spaces that intensively affect people's senses, provoking emotions and inviting them to interact.

We empower our team members to pursue their passion and make a difference, while helping them to become their best selves.

We embrace a diverse range of projects. Regardless of their size, budget, or complexity, we dive deep into each one as if it were the most important project in the world.
