Studio Gameiro is one of the leading architecture, design and research studio practices in Portugal. Focused on the intricacies of the creative process and craft, and the ability to transform each challenge into a singular project, we are keen on maintaining a multidisciplinary approach by establishing long term collaborations with different fields of action/partners.
From private residential commissions, retail and the hospitality industry to award winning bespoke furniture series, our tailor-made approach has an unequivocal poetic side which can be traced to our continuous support of technical expertise matched by a whimsical visual language.
We experiment and establish concepts using tone, materiality and warmth, and have a strong belief in rooting our designs in a contextual analysis of place. We believe that the future of architecture is about balancing contemporary, functional design with sustainably sourced materials and preserving, protecting, and celebrating local craft and culture.
What inspires you?
At the Studio we are constantly surprised by finding inspiration in multiple creative outflows of complementary areas, like Sculpture and Ceramics, and Weaving, as well as the intricate technical elements of building something from scratch. That principle, of shaping form into function, permeates our DNA.
Describe your creative process.
As a small Team we focus on working together on each project by first being open to try new creative and technical approaches/frameworks, as everyone brings something new, literally, to the table. The fact that we have different backgrounds makes it much more interesting as our starting points of view don’t need to match. This mix, and perspective, makes us constantly curious about moving forward.
