PROMONTORIO

PROMONTORIO began in Lisbon in 1990 as an experimental studio and has grown into a full-service practice of around eighty architects, planners, landscape architects, interior and graphic designers. Led by five partners, Paulo Martins Barata, João Luís Ferreira, Paulo Perloiro, Pedro Appleton and João Perloiro, it works across architecture, planning, landscaping and interiors.

The practice pursues what it calls a system of robustness: solidity, stability and durability, in representational meaning as much as in technical research. Its portfolio spans schools, museums and cultural institutions, housing, offices, hotels and retail, built in Portugal and across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, and widely published and exhibited, including at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
