rar.studio: architecture studio in Lisbon

rar.studio is an architecture studio based in Lisbon, specializing in design and production of spaces and objects, as well as in research and critical thinking.

Sensitive and contextually critical design

Transversal to the nature of the practice, the scale of intervention, or the type of client, the studio's work inherently involves designing solutions that adopt sensitive, critical, and responsive perspectives towards the context and contingencies of the surroundings.

Collaboration and interdisciplinary coordination

The design process is based on principles of collaboration with the client, mediation with supervisory bodies and the assembly, and coordination of teams that integrate the necessary technical and specialized skills, knowledge, and experiences. Through joint reflection, the studio ensures broad, efficient, and precise design development.
