Miguel Cavaleiro Arquitectos is a Lisbon-based architecture studio working across Portugal.

 

The studio operates through close collaboration between architects, engineers, and builders, forming a flexible team that adapts to the specific demands of each project.

​

Architecture is approached as a practical discipline with cultural responsibility. Design decisions are rooted in an understanding of place, use, and construction, aiming to create spaces that are both precise and enduring. The work is guided by a search for connection—through dialogue, empathy, and the beauty of simplicity - and by careful attention to how buildings relate to their surroundings and to the people who inhabit them.

​

Each commission is developed through a process of investigation, testing, and refinement. Rather than applying a fixed style, the studio works from context and program, allowing solutions to emerge from constraints, dialogue with clients, and environmental considerations. Sustainability is embedded in this process as a design principle rather than an afterthought.

​

Working across different scales and typologies, the studio is committed to producing architecture that is clear, functional, and carefully constructed. Its work seeks a balance between technical rigor and expressive restraint, resulting in projects that are purposeful, resilient, and responsive to contemporary life.
