Saraiva + Associados: the concept of comfort in the form, function and beauty of architecture
In the final episode of the first season of Arquitetando o Futuro (Architecting the Future), we welcome Joana Peres, whose vision transforms spaces into experiences: Joana Peres.
Even before becoming an architect, Joana Peres was designing worlds. It was on the beach that Joana's foundations were laid, where she would stretch out her finger to draw the plans for the houses she imagined, in the sand and to scale.
It was literature that provided her with the characters that have accompanied her throughout her 20-year career at Saraiva + Associados, where she is now a Senior Partner: characters with soul, voice and human experience.
Joana advocates architecture that cares, welcomes and humanises. However, it is her concept of comfort that truly encapsulates her creative philosophy.
