We are a dynamic and forward-thinking architecture and interior design studio based in the vibrant city of Lisbon
Established in 2003 by Luis Pedra Silva, our journey has been marked by a passion for innovative design, thoughtful collaborations, and a commitment to shaping spaces that transcend expectations. With an extensive portfolio that spans diverse typologies and scales, both in Portugal and internationally, our focus areas include healthcare, high-end residential, hospitality, and offices + workplace design. At the heart of our success lies a dedication to a concise and context-driven conceptual approach, reflected in the numerous awards and publications we've garnered both nationally and across borders.
We strive to follow a guiding line that exudes our personality and reflects our ongoing pursuit of knowledge, boundless creativity, and attention to detail that has characterized us since day one. Pedra Silva Architects is a set of values born from the know-how of those who brought this project to life. Our founder, Luis Pedra Silva, encapsulates this ethos with a background that includes academic pursuits in Lisbon, Spain, and, South Africa.
His academic journey, coupled with collaborations in Lisbon's architectural landscape, cleared the way for the establishment of our studio in 2003.
Our commitment to excellence is underscored by our collaborative design philosophy and transparent relationships with clients. We believe the best answers arise from asking the right questions. From then on, we strive for our work to be focused on bespoke solutions and careful responses to each of the projects that come our way, embracing innovative and thoughtful design solutions. This philosophy guides us in creating spaces that not only fulfill their purpose but also contribute meaningfully to the well-being of those who inhabit them.
Join us on this journey where creativity meets purpose, and spaces come alive with usefulness.
