xisto atelier is an architecture firm based in Porto

 

Our architecture comes from a careful response to context and its character, and has a core commitment to innovative, environmentally-conscious, and sustainable design practices.

We focus on developing future-proof and healthy buildings, able to withstand the test of time, bring a positive contribution to places and joy to their users.

“We aim to design flexible buildings that can adapt to the changing needs, with a language that doesn’t easily get old or outdated.”

“We believe in the potential of old buildings - giving them a new life is a way to value local communities and culture itself, to enhance a unique character and reduce environmental impact.”
