The studio
TERRA is a studio for architecture rooted in material, climate and place — from a single house to a quiet civic room.
Who we are
We begin every project with the ground: its stone, its light, its weather and the hands that build near it. Material is not a finish but the first idea.
Working between Lisbon, Athens and Kyoto, we design buildings that belong to where they stand and weather gracefully into them.
How we work
01
Material first
We design with what the place can offer — earth, stone, timber, lime.
02
Climate as form
Sun, shade and air shape the plan before any style does.
03
Made nearby
We build with local makers, keeping craft and carbon close to the site.
