Arquitectura
com rigor.<\/h3>

Founded in 2021 by Ana Rita Gomes, CURO is an architecture studio dedicated to developing projects that bring together context, materiality, functionality, and identity.

We work across different scales, from residential and corporate spaces to experimental objects and wellness environments, guided by an approach rooted in rigour, simplicity, and close attention to detail. Each project is a unique response to its setting, programme, and the people who will inhabit it.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ana is an architect, holds a Master\u2019s degree from the University of Coimbra and Universit\u00e0 degli Studi Roma Tre, and is currently pursuing a PhD at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto<\/strong> (FAUP), where she is also a researcher at the Centro de Estudos Nuno Portas<\/strong> (CENP).<\/p>

In 2025, she was awarded a PhD Research Grant by Casa da Arquitectura<\/strong>further exploring the relationship between practice, theory, and architectural thought.<\/p>

Her practice is driven by curiosity and a continuous search for new ways of understanding and shaping space.<\/p>

At CURO architecture and research <\/strong>come together to shape projects that are thoughtful, rigorous, and timeless.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We believe in an We believe in an architecture that needs no excess<\/strong> to make its presence felt.<\/p>

We observe the place, understand our clients\u2019 needs, and approach every decision with intention.<\/p>

We value light, materiality, proportion, and the relationships between the different elements<\/strong> that shape a space.<\/p>

The result is an architecture of clarity and restraint, designed to endure, stand the test of time, and preserve its identity.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
