The LOOP Design Awards 2026 have honoured four Portuguese architecture and interior projects with the Citation Winner level. The recognition goes to the studios Silverline, Sabrab, Risco Singular and arQB, in an international architecture and design competition.

At the LOOP Design Awards 2026, the Architecture, Residential & Houses category recognised Casa M by Silverline in Vila Nova de Gaia, Casa M Ariane by Sabrab in Melides, and House M by Risco Singular in Barcelos. In the Interior Design, Apartments Design category, Wave Apartment by arQB in Póvoa de Varzim was honoured.

Each project answers a very different context. Casa M, by Silverline and designed by Jorge Prata and Eduardo Soares, deals with a plot with roughly 3 metres of level difference through a split-level system, with a single-storey façade facing the street and two staggered levels at the rear. Casa M Ariane, by Sabrab, was conceived for an international family seeking a retreat in the Alentejo, set among centuries-old cork oaks, with horizontal volumes finished in natural lime plaster and large glazed openings. House M, by Paulo Costa and Sónia Abreu of Risco Singular, is organised as a succession of volumes forming a U around a central courtyard and ends in a prism of dark-tinted glass that houses the indoor swimming pool. Wave Apartment, by Ricardo Ribeiro of arQB, reorganises an eighth-floor apartment in a 1970s seafront building around an organic wave-shaped wall and a large circular mirror that reflects the ocean.

All four projects were photographed by Ivo Tavares. You can see each one on the LOOP Design Awards pages: Casa M, Casa M Ariane, Wave Apartment and House M. Congratulations to all the teams honoured at the LOOP Design Awards 2026.
