Promontorio

Promontorio is a full-service architecture, planning, landscaping, interior design, and graphics team that began in Lisbon in 1990 as an experimental studio. It is a five-partner firm led by Paulo Martins Barata, Joao Luis Ferreira, Paulo Perloiro, Pedro Appleton, and Joao Perloiro. It grew into a practice of sixty architects, planners, landscape architects, interior designers, and graphic designers. Promontorio has often been identified with the pursuit of a ‘system of robustness’ (i.e. solidity, stability, and durability) both in terms of representational meaning and technical research. This, in turn, has been implemented and tested in vast construction sites and under challenging time and budget constraints.
