Artequitectos
the architects in Guimarães, Portugal

Whenever we photograph a project by the Artequitectos studio (from Guimarães), we know we will find great detail and design. For us at Ivo Tavares Studio, it is a privilege to help tell this team's story through our architectural photography. Discover the journey that brings these works to life in the lines below, and at the bottom of the page, explore the full features we have already shot together.

"Atelier Artequitectos is an architecture studio dedicated to the creation of sensitive and contemporary spaces, where topography, material and the experience of inhabiting come together with precision and poetry. Founded by architects Nuno Filipe Azevedo and Vítor Oliveira, both with solid technical backgrounds and a humanist outlook, the studio values the dialogue between light, materiality and context, offering solutions that balance formal restraint with emotional expressiveness.

Their design approach is grounded in conceptual clarity, the sobriety of gestures, and the authenticity of materials. Each project is conceived as a singular place, where architecture emerges from a deep understanding of its territory — physical, social and cultural — and is built through integrated, structural and sustainable gestures.

The result is a body of work where architecture asserts itself with subtlety: single-family homes, cultural facilities, or small- and medium-scale projects that establish a narrative between building and inhabiting — always with careful attention to detail, light, and the passage of time."
