From Vision to Regeneration.
We believe architecture can do more than respond to today's needs. It can anticipate change, create lasting value, and strengthen the relationship between people, places and nature.
At hori-zonte, we combine architecture, science and environmental intelligence to design for the future.
Friendship starts with us and extends to our clients and partners.
Built on friendship, we combine diverse skills to deliver innovative and trustful collaborations. Founded during the pandemic, our team thrives on trust, openness, and lasting partnerships.
Who we are
hori-zonte is a dynamic, award-winning architecture practice based in Portugal.
With a team of more than 15 people and over a decade of experience, we develop projects locally and internationally, across different scales and contexts.
Our story brings together strong family roots and a new generation of thinking, recognised through award-nominated work and distinctions including 40 Under 40.
Nature is our driving force.
What we do
We work across architecture, urban planning, and bioclimatic studies.
From masterplans and large-scale residential developments to hospitality, cultural and workplace projects, every project begins with the same principle:
Each place is unique.
How we work
We start by understanding.
The climate, landscape, sun, wind, local materials, and the specific conditions of each site.
Hori-lab, our Research & Development department, brings research and scientific analysis into the design process.
Through bioclimatic studies, research, and data-driven design, we combine creative thinking with technical knowledge to make more informed decisions.
Designing for what comes next
The built environment is changing.
So must the way we design it.
At hori-zonte, we look beyond the immediate brief to create architecture that is more resilient, efficient and connected to the systems that surround it.
