Saraiva+Associados EN PRACTICE SERVICES PROJECTS JOURNAL AND PUBLICATIONS CONTACTS Search ABOUTPEOPLECAREERS Founded on versatility From 1996. To the future. WHO WE ARE The history of the studio merges with the history of its founder and CEO, Miguel Saraiva, who is responsible for the concept behind each project. His passion for architectural design is coupled with a fearless vision that enabled him to transform a small, newly formed studio into a corporate organization with international clout while preserving its renown as an architect-led studio with global reach. With Lisbon as its creative base and the home of over a hundred of its collaborators, S+A sets itself apart with its capacity for openness to the wider world, adaptability to new markets, and resilience in the face of challenges that are faced by a constantly changing society. With offices in 9 countries, S+A is now a major player in a number of different countries. We look to develop seamless proposals in which the presence of the architectural object, as an element of the whole, coexists with the urban space, creating high-quality links with societies.

Key aspects of our day-to-day work. Our working process APPROACH Collaboration and delivery Our creative process is developed through synergies with clients, surpassing the simple provision of services.

S+A has built a strong identity as a global brand adept at dealing with all sorts of challenges at a global level. We strive to develop local know-how in order to consolidate our international experience.

ON TRACK FOR A GREENER WORLD Commitment to sustainable development As we understand the impact of architecture on contemporary society, our proposals incorporate values of sustainability and bioclimatic concepts that can improve the performance of built environments. MODELLING SOFTWARE BIM – Building Information Modelling We offer sound experience and recognition as seasoned users of building information modeling (BIM) in Portugal. BIM has transformed ways of working within the construction industry, rendering and clarifying all of the information associated with the life cycle of a building. Sharing and integrating data has become a must when drawing up new protocols, activities, and growth strategies. We have embraced this transformation with the aim of streamlining our production process, orientating it towards cost control, and providing a holistic service, supported by intelligent and dedicated management for each individual building and the built environment as a whole.
