AR Architecture

AR Architecture is a boutique studio of Architects and Interior designers with offices in London and Porto, distinguished by its award-winning design, international expertise and local capability. Founded 10 years ago in London, the practice gets involved in a broad range of high-end residential, commercial and hospitality projects.

In the UK, the company’s services span from feasibility studies to statutory approvals (including heritage buildings), and from full design to project management during construction.

In Portugal, together with local partners, AR Architecture offers turn-key solutions from an investment opportunity to a completed project.

The practice has accumulated invaluable experience in the most complex jobs and won many national and international awards.

At AR Architecture, we are inspired by challenges and always seek to add value by excellent design, while strictly adhering to our Clients’ brief and budget. Working closely with our Clients, we meet their objectives and budgetary targets, whilst always seeking inspiring innovative solutions and exceeding expectations.

From inception to completion, we provide full transparency on all aspects of the project, helping our Clients maintain control over the cost and the programme. For the Clients’ piece of mind, our fees are always fixed lump sums tied to the scope of the project.

We enjoy working within physical, budgetary and cultural limitations, finding that the most interesting creative solutions originate from the most challenging constraints.

We regard our private clients as our co-authors, together we create spaces where they can feel at home and in harmony with their surroundings.

Developers and investors appreciate our attentive listening culture, commercial insight and efficient work procedures aided by the utilisation of BIM software.

Having worked with large international hospitality brands and boutique hotels, we know first-hand how to implement the strictest operator’s standards and find creative solutions for the most complex and demanding projects.
