RENATA SANTOS MACHADO

An early interest turned into a thirst for knowledge.

The joy of observing closely and absorbing everything around.

Stacks of magazines. Mountains of books. Even more digital.

Trends, atmospheres, styles, colors, materials, textures, design, arts, architecture.

She studied Business Management, but her true passion emerged with the rehabilitation of apartments in historic areas.

In Lisbon.

To date, we have collaborated on at least four projects, all of the highest quality. One of the most remarkable examples was the renovation of a residence in 2014. After all these years, the project remains absolutely timeless, comfortable and with an aesthetic that stands the test of time — proof of the longevity and intelligence of the solutions proposed.

We have known Renata since 2016 and have already completed 3 projects with the atelier. We love her ability to listen and understand our needs, always proposing very fitting, creative, and professional solutions. The flexibility to incorporate our cherished items and our ideas into the decoration proposals is another aspect that we highly value in our work with Renata and the entire team.
