New Portuguese Building Designs in 2026, chronological:

7 September 2026
Costa Cabral Building, Porto
Architects: ENTRETEMPOS + ATA Atelier
Costa Cabral Building Porto northern Portugal
photograph : Ivo Tavares Studio
The Costa Cabral Building seeks to address an urban void by drawing on the heights, alignments and construction principles of its neighbouring structures. The building is positioned flush with the street frontage, continuing the dominant morphology of the street while introducing a recessed top floor. This upper setback maintains the continuity of the northern elevation and establishes a volumetric transition towards the south.

Santa Catarina Apartments, Porto
Architects: OODA
Santa Catarina Apartments Porto northern Portugal
photo : João Morgado
Dating from the early 20th century, Santa Catarina House forms part of a terrace of four historic homes in Porto, northern Portugal. With a narrow six-metre street frontage, the plot widens towards the rear, where a walled garden once stood unused.

Between Two White Walls in Vilamour, Faro, southern Portugal
Architects: Data
Casa Colinas Vilamour southern Portugal
photo : Nuno Almendra
Casa Colinas is a 430-square-metre private residence in Vilamoura, Portugal’s Algarve region, occupying an 870-square-metre site overlooking a neighbouring golf course. The house is conceived as a carefully orchestrated sequence of spaces that explores the interplay between privacy, natural light and the surrounding landscape.

Chaves House, Chaves, Vila Real
Architecture: NOARQ
Chaves House Vila Real Portugal home
photo : João Morgado
The site’s geographical conditions, together with a tightly constrained budget, became the primary drivers of the architectural response. During the initial visits to Chaves, near the São Neutel Fort, the architects encountered a rustic 3,276-square-metre plot on the city’s edge, where the urban fabric gives way to the surrounding agricultural landscape. Devoid of established urban references, the site presented an opportunity to develop an architectural language shaped by its context, topography, and economy of means.

Quinta de Adorigo Winery, Tabuaço, northern Portugal
Architects: Atelier Sérgio Rebelo
Quinta de Adorigo Winery Tabuaço northern Portugal
photo : Fernando Guerra
The winery at Quinta de Adorigo forms part of a wider family-led wine tourism development that also includes a hotel currently under construction. Together, the projects seek to establish an immersive destination that celebrates the cultural and agricultural traditions of the Douro Valley while offering contemporary hospitality experiences rooted in the landscape.

26 June 2026
Melides House, Grandola, Setúbal District
Architecture: Sabrab
Melides House Grandola Portugal
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
The design preserves the character and identity of the site while maximising privacy, framing distant views, and fostering a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living.

9 June 2026
House PV, São João do Estoril
Architecture: Nuno Nascimento Arquitectos
House PV São João do Estoril Portugal home
photo : Francisco Nogueira
Located in São João do Estoril, House PV reinterprets a residence formed through decades of incremental growth and adaptation. The project responds not by erasing its complex history, but by transforming it into a unified architectural whole. By reconciling disparate interventions within a clear spatial and formal framework, the design creates a cohesive identity that balances continuity with renewal.

5 June 2026
Casa do Alpendre, Vila Franca de Xira, Lisbon Region
Architecture: Vasco Burnay Arquitectura
Casa do Alpendre Vila Franca de Xira Portugal
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
Casa do Alpendre was conceived from a true blank slate on an undeveloped plot in Quinta da Coutada, within the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira. The surrounding area is characterised by a broad diversity of architectural styles, lacking a coherent language or any clear relationship between neighbouring buildings.

18 May 2026
Casa na Comporta, just south of Lisbon, southern Portugal – on the Alentejo coast
Architect: SabraB Architecture
Casa na Comporta, Alentejo coast property
photograph : Laura Deus Photolab
Through restrained materiality, carefully calibrated openings, and a strong emphasis on spatial continuity, the design fosters a constant dialogue between interior and exterior. The architecture neither dominates nor disappears into the landscape; instead, it engages the site with clarity and respect, creating a living environment deeply connected to the rhythms, textures, and atmosphere of Comporta’s coastal ecosystem.

13 May 2026
Marvila Masterplan, Lisboa
Architecture: MVRDV and OODA
Marvila Masterplan Lisbon Portugal architecture
image : OODA
Developed by MVRDV and OODA in collaboration with LOLA Landscape Architects and Thornton Tomasetti, the masterplan establishes a new urban and landscape framework for one of the city’s largest regeneration projects currently in development. The scheme introduces 1,400 homes alongside public facilities, retail, and services, transforming a fragmented and largely abandoned site into a vibrant new urban centre.

12 May 2026
PRF Gas Solutions Headquarters, Leiria
Architecture: Impare Arquitectura
PRF Gas Solutions Headquarters Leiria Portugal
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
The intervention is designed to accommodate the need for expansion while preserving the functional and volumetric continuity of the existing complex. The new building volume aligns with the current structure and runs parallel to the main street, strengthening the built frontage and creating a cohesive architectural composition across the site.
The design strategy emphasises organisational clarity and strong relationships between functions, ensuring efficient spatial integration while reinforcing the company’s institutional identity through a unified and consistent architectural language.

5 May 2026
Edifício Scala-Mare, Canidelo, Vila Nova de Gaia
Architecture: Atelier d’Arquitectura Lopes da Costa
Edifício Scala-Mare Vila Nova de Gaia Portugal
photograph : Ivo Tavares Studio
This apartment building’s main challenge was navigating the limitations set by the site and the relevant regulations. These constraints strongly shaped the design strategy, ultimately leading to a building that emphasizes a horizontal layout.

4 May 2026
Duas Casas, Guimarães
Design: felixARQS
Duas Casas Guimaraes North Portugal homes
picture : Ivo Tavares Studio
Inside, the spaces are generous and fluid, maintaining a deliberate relationship with the exterior. Stone and timber engage in a subtle dialogue with natural light, which reveals the depth and character of the materials. Every detail is intentional: framing views, marking transitions, and anchoring objects with quiet significance.

The Garden Condominium Matosinhos, Senhora Da Hora, Porto, northern Portugal
Architect: Visioarq Arquitectos
The Garden Condominium Matosinhos Portugal
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
The site of The Garden Condominium in Matosinhos, Portugal—distinguished by characteristics that are unique within the national context—features a private green park of approximately three hectares, which became the central axis of Visioarq’s conceptual approach. At the same time, the design needed to respond to building placement and volumetric constraints that were strongly defined by the existing subdivision.

22 April 2026
T and A Azores House, Ponta Delgada, São Pedro, Açores
Architects: Atelier d’arquitectura Lopes da Costa
T and A Azores House Açores Portugal
picture : Ivo Tavares Studio
Set in the historic heart of Ponta Delgada, this house stands as an exercise in continuity and respect for time. Built prior to 1951 and embedded within the city’s consolidated urban fabric, it arrives to us with an identity shaped by its scale, its relationship to the garden, and the layered memory accumulated through successive modes of inhabitation.

16 April 2026
Hintze Ribeiro Multifamily Housing, Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos
Architects: Helder Da Rocha Arquitectos
Hintze Ribeiro Multifamily Housing Leça da Palmeira Portugal
picture : Ivo Tavares Studio
The client effectively took on the role of the lead architect, clearly defining the commercial product with precise requirements aligned to market demands. They called for a rational, optimized construction approach capable of delivering quality and consistency in meeting those expectations.

14 April 2026
El Mar Restaurant, Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar, 31, 1069-413 Lisboa
Architecture: Cateto Cateto
El Mar Restaurant Lisbon Portugal
photo : Ricardo Oliveira Alves
Located on the top floor of El Corte Inglés Lisbon, El Mar is the new restaurant by chef Kiko Martins. Conceived as an immersive narrative, the interior design unfolds as a journey between the Portuguese coast and the shores of Rio de Janeiro—a visual and emotional tribute to the chef’s roots, where Portugal and Brazil converge in a rich and evocative atmosphere.

14 April 2026
Aguçadoura House II, Póvoa de Varzim, Porto, northern Portugal
Architect: Raulino Silva Arquitecto
Aguçadoura House II Póvoa de Varzim Portugal hero
picture : Raulino Silva
On the lower floor, a central atrium organizes the layout, providing access to the garage—with space for two vehicles—as well as the mechanical room and a laundry area discreetly concealed by a patio. A west-facing corridor links the office, kitchen, and main living room, all of which open onto the exterior garden. The bathroom, in contrast, opens onto a small private patio, enclosed by exposed concrete walls that create a sense of intimacy and seclusion.

Beira Mar II Aveiro
Atelier de Arquitectura . Architecture Office: Paulo Martins Arquitectura & Design
Beira Mar II Aveiro Portugal real estate
image : Ivo Tavares Studio
The house emerges from a dialogue between two forces: the organic fabric of the neighbourhood and the precision of the design. Its geometries are clear, its alignments deliberate, and its language contemporary—yet never indifferent to its surroundings. It does not imitate the city; it listens to it.

2 March 2026
Casa A, Braga
Architecture: L2C Arquitetura
Rather than mastering the slope, the architectural practice chose to listen to it and work with it. The design emerged through the terrain itself, shaped by the creation of terraces and plateaus—like a sequence of steps guiding movement from chaos toward order.

27 February 2026
FP Apartment renovation, São Vicente, Braga
Architecture: Arquitectos RT
FP Apartment Braga Portugal interior renovation
photograph : Ivo Tavares Studio
The FP Apartment renovation, in São Vicente, Braga, is driven by the need to reconfigure a deteriorated existing dwelling, characterized by obsolete materials and a spatial language misaligned with contemporary living standards. The brief called for a functional and comfortable domestic environment, in which a restrained and deliberate design approach defines the space, responding to a lifestyle largely centered around indoor living and remote work.

24 February 2026
Borges Wine Cellar, Sabrosa, Douro Valley, northern Portugal
Architects: Em Paralelo
Borges Wine Cellar Sabrosa northern Portugal
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
Located in Sabrosa, at the core of the Douro Valley, the Borges Winery is conceived as an architectural expression of wine’s fundamental values: time, materiality, and landscape. Beyond its industrial function, the project establishes itself as a space of transformation and memory, where production and territory converge into a unified built language.

17 February 2026
House SM, Ílhavo
Architecture: Mário Alves Arquitetura
The architectural concept involves two volumes that, shaped by their programmatic requirements, adopt distinct positions and proportions. They are carefully placed on the site to optimise solar exposure while also engaging with the surrounding context and the remaining green space.

16 February 2026
Casinha Da Melroeira, Ourém
Architecture: Filipe Saraiva
The design process of this dwelling was unique, shaped by a deep familiarity with the site and the enduring presence of a ruin that formed part of the landscape of Casa da Melroeira—the architect’s own home. The symbolic weight of the ruin was long associated with the antiquity of the construction, but above all with the threshing floor that once stood in front of the house, near the public road.

++

27 January 2026
Minimalist White House, Ferreiros, Braga
Architecture: Arquitetura501
Organised across two levels, the upper floor assumes a distinctly private character, accommodating the home’s three bedrooms. A defining feature of this level is a continuous balcony that runs along the east–south façade. Fully glazed, it frames expansive views over Mount Sameiro, strengthening the visual connection with the surrounding landscape.

19 January 2026
Casa da Rocha Quebrada, Lagoa, Sao Miguel, Acores
Architects: SO Arquitetura & Design
The plot, the last vacant lot along a stretch of São Miguel’s southern coast, called for a solid form. Between existing constructions and the harsh Atlantic landscape, the house stands as the closure of the block and, at the same time, as a natural extension of the rock.

16 January 2026
Casa dos Sobreiros II, Póvoa de Varzim
Architecture: Urbanpolis – Construções e Empreendimentos, Lda
Two main axes organise the building and define its spatial experience. The transverse axis, which contains the entrance, is marked by a central patio that draws natural light into the heart of the house and enriches the circulation spaces. The longitudinal axis, oriented towards the southern garden, establishes a continuous visual connection with the exterior.

7 January 2026
CC House – Quinta dos Carvalhos, Leiria
Design: Inception Architects Studio
The CC House, also known as Quinta dos Carvalhos, is a project distinguished by a profound harmony between architecture and nature. Set on a two-hectare plot in the Leiria region, it was designed with a deep respect for the surrounding landscape, where the built form does not impose itself but instead adapts to its context.

5 January 2026
Sa Townhouse, Aveiro
Architecture: Atelier Tiago Do Vale, Architects
Set on a vacant plot, the Sá Townhouse resumes, in its volume, materiality, and composition, the architectural lexicon of Silva Rocha’s house, echoing the vertical and horizontal rhythms of the façade, the alignment of heights, the geometry of the roof, and the five-part organisation of the elevation.
It retains the familiar scheme of two floors, three bays, and a central attic window, as well as a rear upper patio—a configuration characteristic both of the street and of the city at large.

Modern Portuguese Building Designs in 2025, chronological:

The Capsule Neo-Bistro, Lisbon Restaurant
Architecture: Atelier Réalité
The Capsule Neo-Bistro Lisbon Portugal restaurant
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
The project transforms a ground-floor space within an 18th-century building into a restaurant of distinct character, preserving and emphasizing its most significant feature—the arches. New elements are introduced with restraint and respect for the existing spatial configuration, minimizing intervention and ensuring the historic structure remains the protagonist.

18 December 2025
Casa Corten, Braga, North Portugal
Architecture: Sandro Ferreira arquitectura
Casa Corten Braga Portugal property
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
Two key design challenges were the steep natural slope and solar orientation. The slope was addressed through the use of green roofs on both levels, allowing the built volumes to be read as extensions of the terrain—almost sculpted topographies—that enhance the sense of integration with the landscape.

10 December 2025
Casa do Engenho, Madalena, Vila Nova de Gaia
Architects: Silverline Architecture
During the development of this project, the clients, together with their children and grandchildren, were entering a new stage of life. Throughout their professional careers, they have been guided by care, preservation, and respect for what is passed down to future generations. They now sought to extend these same values into their living environment.

10 December 2025
Vagar Country House Mountain Shelters, Belmonte
Architects: Filipe Pina Arquitectura
These three shelters are located at strategic points in the Serra da Esperança, enhancing and preserving the region’s ecological and landscape heritage by safeguarding the existing scenery and respecting its natural values. Conceptually, formally, and constructively, they are inspired by the vernacular shepherd shelters of the region, commonly known as “Choças.”

Barra Apartment, Aveiro interior design
Architecture: Paulo Martins Arquitectura & Design
Barra Apartment Aveiro Portugal interior design
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
The interior design was conceived to evoke serenity and functionality, where the clarity of minimalist lines meets the sensory richness of natural materials. Soft beige tones—drawn from the colour and texture of sand—envelop oak floors and walls, while pale ceilings enhance natural light and reinforce a sense of openness.

24 November 2025
C – Cultura e Criatividade, Penafiel
Architect: Galeria Gabinete
C - Cultura e Criatividade Penafiel
photo : Ivo Tavares Studio
The Ponto C – Cultura e Criatividade project is more than a new space in the city of Penafiel. It contributes to a transformation of the urban fabric. A new entrance and improved connection to the southern area enable structured expansion, moving beyond the long-standing perception of a city “split down the middle.”

11 November 2025
Casa DR, Meia-Via, Torres Novas
Architects: NMDARQ
The project is developed on a 600 sqm urban plot located in Meia-Via, Torres Novas. Set within an expanding residential area, the site is defined by surrounding streets and vacant lots, yet framed by single-family houses of diverse architectural styles. This lack of clear references and resulting heterogeneity becomes the starting point for a proposal that asserts itself through a contemporary architectural language.

6 November 2025
Pasteis de Belem, Lisbon Bakery
Architecture: Viterbo Interior Design Ateliers

The new interior evokes the artisanal essence of Portuguese tradition while introducing a contemporary architectural language that feels both familiar and refreshing. Light oak, handmade tiles, and textured lime plaster walls come together to create a warm, authentic, and timeless atmosphere.

6 November 2025
Casa em Mesao Frio, Mesão Frio, Guimarães, central Portugal
Design: felixARQS
At the quiet end of a street, within a cluster of buildings belonging to the same extended family, there was a ruin. A young and growing family decided to rebuild it, driven by a deep emotional connection, as it once belonged to the client’s grandparents. Right next to it stands her parents’ house.

Considering the roughness and the remoteness of the Paradinha Cabins plot it would be difficult, and extremely expensive, to assemble construction yards for a traditional building. Thus, in this case, resorting to pre-fabricated structures was not just a choice, but the only efficient option we had to simplify the building process within such conditions.

“This knoll features several monumental boulders, spaced apart; and a fine stand of trees around them, with tall trunks and dense foliage. In the midst of the knoll, was a faint clearing; and this place presented itself as a `natural, `logical’ and `inevitable’ location or locus for the Chapel.

Arquipélago – Contemporary Art Center

ARQUIPÉLAGO opened the 2nd Exposition Cycle of “Sonic Geometry”, a project in partnership with RTP – Radio and Television of Portugal, and curated by Nuno Faria and Nicolau Tudela, last Saturday, October 27th.

This cycle presents artistic projects of the duos Miguel Leal / Pedro Tudela and Mike Cooter / Tomás Cunha Ferreira, developed in Artistic Residency, and a new selection of images from the Audiovisual Archive of RTP, that refer to the Azorean universe.

This exhibition is part of a one year project, “Sonic Geometry”, that started on May, and where the artists develop projects, during their stay of 15 days at ARQUIPÉLAGO, that go through the investigation, creation and production of new works from the territory – Archipelago of the Azores – using the vast Audiovisual Archive of RTP. If you wish to have more information about ”Sonic Geometry” please let me know, because we can send an explanatory text of the whole project.

In addition, Fátima Marques Pereira, the Director of ARQUIPÉLAGO – Contemporary Art Center, decided to send information regarding LANDMARK, an architectural project developed in Artistic Residency (“Heritage as a source of inspiration”) by the portuguese architect Joaquim Oliveira. The project was promoted by the Regional Directorate of Culture, within the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage.

According to Joaquim Oliveira, “Landmark” intends to be “a reference point in a place, in a square, and that has information on the use of geothermal resources of low enthalpy, and others considered of reutilization of energies in order to be integrated into immaterial actions of divulgation of these concepts in architectural and engineering projects”
