The history of the studio is rooted in that of its founder and CEO, Miguel Saraiva, who is responsible for the concept behind each project. His passion for architectural design is coupled with a fearless vision that enabled him to transform a small, newly formed studio into a corporate organisation with international clout, while preserving its renown as an architect-led studio with global reach. With Lisbon as its creative base and the home of over a hundred of its collaborators, S+A sets itself apart with its capacity for openness to the wider world, adaptability to new markets and resilience in the face of challenges that are faced by a constantly changing society. With several offices, S+A is now a major player in a number of different countries.
