The Architecture MasterPrize 2026 has honoured three Portuguese projects with the Winner level, photographed by Ivo Tavares. The recognition goes to the studios L2C Arquitetura, LJ-Group and Sabrab Arquitectura, in an international award dedicated to architecture, interior design and landscape architecture.

In the Residential Architecture (Single Family) category, the Architecture MasterPrize 2026 recognised Casa S by L2C Arquitetura in Braga, and Casa M Ariane by Sabrab Arquitectura in Melides. In the Educational Landscape category, Oriente Green Campus by LJ-Group in Lisbon was honoured and also received the Best of Best distinction.

Casa S, designed by Luís Cunha of L2C Arquitetura, turns a steep hillside into an inhabited landscape: two offset horizontal planes are set into the slope, with communal life below and private spaces above, while exposed concrete acts at once as structure, retaining system and finish. Oriente Green Campus, by LJ-Group with Pedro Pedalino as lead architect, turns a former commercial complex into a green campus where rooftops, terraces and courtyards form, across four levels, a continuous landscape framework with native planting. Casa M Ariane, by Sabrab, was conceived as a retreat for an international family in the Alentejo, set among centuries-old cork oaks, with horizontal volumes finished in natural lime plaster and large glazed openings.

All three projects were photographed by Ivo Tavares. You can see each one on the Architecture MasterPrize pages: Casa S, Oriente Green Campus and Casa M Ariane. Congratulations to all the teams honoured at the Architecture MasterPrize 2026.
