This special edition of a.mag offers a comprehensive overview of the private work of Aires Mateus and Associates: Dwellings that are full of light and at the same moment concealing and hermetic.

Based in Lisbon, Aires Mateus and Associates is known for works that display a sharp geometry, formal balance of volumes, and candid and complex shapes. Attentive to the relationship with the surrounding context, as well as the privacy and use of space, the architects have built a reputation with an unmistakable character.  From surprising urban insertions to integrations in the natural landscape and more, the organisation, continuity, and quality of these spaces is masterful.
