We design with emotion for sensuality.

With a diverse range of furniture produced, the CNLL’s design team often works as an integral part of the overall architectural project, but also developing products at a domestic or commercial scale. Our products are unique and carry author’s design signature, which guarantee the exclusivity and quality of each piece.

We design the landscape with respect and love.

With each project, we learn more about creating shapes and places, serving processes and people and minimizing energy use in providing comfortable and healthy environments.

Considering the growing rhythm of the change happening in the world every day,  it is essential to ensure the connection between people and nature. The key for this issue is landscape design, a service that CNLL architects provides in several scales and forms, since private gardens to huge public spaces.

We seek to upgrade our clients’ quality of life, as well as to maximize the benefits of humans relation with environment and the ecosystem.

We develop projects with visionary strategy and expansion margin.

Every place on Earth is in constant change – growing, degenerating, regenerating – with their own problems and challenges. Depending on what country you are, we are facing now very opposite problems, which goes from excessive growth of population, to the declining number of births or the aging of population. At the same time, urban planning design is a complex task and involves measures related with space, mobility, landscape, economy and, also, anthropology.

Having all that in mind, CNLL’s experts on Urban Planning address all this special, social and environmental challenges in their projects and offer a wide variety of services, since design proposals to consulting, sharing our profound knowledge and experience.

We create both technical and design solutions for building envelope.

CNLL provides façade design & engineering services for buildings with different forms, heights and complexities. Our team of experts works on projects from their initial conception right through to completion, resulting in solutions that create comfortable, healthy, secure and safe environment.

We provide cutting edge technology and advances methodologies.

At CNLL architects, we systematically explore the growing capacities of computerized technologies, of drawing techniques, of communication approaches and testing solutions. For each project, hundreds of virtual simulations and analysis are made at our office, testing proposals and results. This technological approach is softly merged with the design thinking strategies and with hand drawing studies, which represents a singular modus operandi from our studio.
We were pioneers at the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Portugal, over a decade ago. Since then, we shared our knowledge by lecturing several courses and seminars and we developed hundreds of projects within this methodology, leveraging our results and projects quality.

We find ways to make your brand grow.

Carrying out a diverse work range, the Brand Design team frequently functions as an integral part of the overall studio, designing not only specific graphic elements for buildings, but also developing independent works, both commercial and domestic, in collaboration with industry or private partners. CNLL architects offers design and communication services, with a market policy that values the interests of the client and seeks to leverage businesses’ and brands’ profits and success.

We believe that a sustainable future starts today.

CNLL architects presents itself as a company that projects and builds for the future as an “environmentally conscious” agent, whether through directly related actions (buildings, materials, energy and urban environment), or as a subscriber of the United Nation’s sustainable development goals.
Sustainability is at the root of everything we undertake. To build sustainably implies designing holistically and with an integral vision. That is why we develop strategies to analyse the project from scratch which provides design guidance based on the values of innovation and environmental responsibility.
All decisions about materials, products and elements related to our projects have not only their aesthetic qualities and coherence within the project as a primary basis for their selection, which we value greatly, but also the aspects of sustainability: economic effectiveness, social awareness and respect for the environment.

We want to share our knowledge and experience with you.

As a multidisciplinary team, we combine knowledge from different areas, from architecture, to engineering, BIM, urban planning and design. We provide all of that combined knowledge as an advisory service.
We work both in the private and public sector, offering consulting and strategic investment advice, including architectural and engineering analysis, construction guidance, market and cost consultancy and technical and technological support.
Our main goal is to support investment decisions and leverage customers’ and partners’ projects and ideas.

We are dreamers, we never quit.
