PÉ DIREITO II ARQUITECTOS LDA BUSINESS OVERVIEW
PéDireito II Arquitectos, Lda is a small but dynamic architectural design firm incorporated by architects with the primary objective of providing services in the areas of architecture, urbanism, urban planning, allotments, building rehabilitation and restoration, building licensing, interior and furniture design, legalization, topography, landscaping, consulting, coordination and monitoring of works and budgets.
We performed a great diversity of projects and construction works in Portugal. We have also performed some architectural projects for Spain, France, Italy, Angola, and São Tomé Príncipe, both for private and public entities.
Our works are a pragmatic response to specific contexts and for each new job, we look for the solutions that best fit the client’s program and imagination, in an inventive and diverse architectural perspective and not in a mere repetition of solutions. We aim to implement in all our projects the provision of quality technical innovation, and sustainability concepts in the solutions designed.
To company clients, we pay special attention to corporate and brand identification through standardization image, which should reflect the values of each company in architecture building design.
Our projects are the result of multidisciplinary teamwork, formed by our architects and urban planners, and we count on the regular collaboration of specialized technical companies, our partners, in engineering, landscaping, planning, surveyors, and lawyers being able to ensure and coordinate all components of the project on their different specialties.
Since 2017 our work has focused predominantly on residential rehabilitation building projects, housing buildings, and industrial buildings.
