Hotels, taken from first sketch to finished building
I design and deliver hotels as a single job: concept, branding, interiors and on-site delivery under one roof. Based in Porto and working across Portugal, Europe and internationally, I turn a site and a budget into a finished, award-winning hotel, in English, Portuguese or four other languages.
One concept: branding, interiors and space together
A hotel isn't a building with décor added afterwards. I develop the idea, the brand, the interiors and the architecture as one concept, so the guest experience reads as a single story from the façade to the room key. That coherence is what turns a property into a destination, and what protects your investment from the disconnected, committee-designed result a fragmented team produces.
From drawings to a building that opens
Design is only half the job. I stay with the project through technical development, tendering, site supervision and pre-opening: the owner-side delivery that keeps the concept intact when it meets budgets, contractors and the calendar. You get one accountable person from first sketch to the day the doors open, not a studio that hands you a folder and disappears.
Built for foreign investment in Portugal
Much of Portugal's hotel pipeline is backed by international capital that needs a local lead who works in their language. I bridge the owner, the design team and the Portuguese construction reality, in English, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, French and Spanish, so nothing is lost between the vision and the site.
