Carvalho Araújo

Carvalho Araújo is a contemporary architecture and design studio with offices in Portugal and Brazil. The studio is widely recognized for its multidisciplinary approach, combining architecture, product design, and creative direction into a cohesive practice rooted in context, strategy, and craftsmanship.

With a philosophy that values clarity and restraint, the studio’s work is defined by simplicity, spatial precision, and a deep respect for each project's environment. Every design is approached as a tailored response—balancing functionality with aesthetics to create meaningful and lasting solutions. Their architecture avoids excess, focusing instead on proportion, materiality, and atmosphere.

Carvalho Araújo’s design process is guided by a strong sense of purpose. Projects are not created to impress, but to endure—to support life, evoke emotion, and reflect the identity of their users and surroundings. This thoughtful, intentional approach has positioned the studio as a leader in context-driven, sustainable design that quietly enhances both built and natural landscapes.
