About
Atelier Peninsular emerges from the geographic and symbolic condition of the peninsula, a near-island, a place of passage and permanence, of continuity and rupture.
As a fragment projected between land and sea, the atelier approaches architecture and landscape architecture as a shared field, open to experimentation, collaboration, and research. Each project is understood as a territory in transformation, where artefacts, landscapes, and daily life intertwine in a continuous exercise of critical observation and informed creation.

Daniela Atanásio
Seixal, 1998
I have loved the idea of the bond between architecture and cinema since university.
Whenever I design a project, I explore how visual storytelling can enhance the spatial experience. Since joining Atelier Peninsular, I found more opportunities on how to integrate this passion for cinema into a design that conveys these complex disciplines in a visually engaging way.
Mariana Raposo

I believe that architecture is a way of living, thinking and feeeling.
There is something in the way of doing things that kept me going and wanting to change peoples life by just changing their own world with in all human scale. In this Atelier, we develop theses wide range of construction systems details and concepts for all kinds of people.

São Brás de Alportel, 1998
I have always enjoyed the idea of helping communities, and as an architect, I found I could do that by addressing some of the city's problems in a meaningful way, designing spaces that meet people's needs and are a real positive change for them.
At Atelier Peninsular, I believe we create these meaningful spaces with all the attention and care they deserve.
