Carrilho da graça arquitectos is a Lisbon-based architecture practice founded by João Luís Carrilho da Graça in 1993. With a strong conceptual foundation rooted in the specificity of place, the studio’s work reflects a deep engagement with topography, light, and material simplicity. Renowned for public and cultural projects across Portugal and beyond, the studio’s portfolio includes the Lisbon Cruise Terminal, the Knowledge of the Seas Pavilion at Expo 1998, and the Campo das Cebolas urban renewal. Their designs are marked by spatial clarity, precision, and a rigorous yet poetic approach to context. The practice has received numerous accolades, including the Pessoa Prize and multiple Valmor Awards, affirming its position as a key voice in contemporary Portuguese architecture.
