The Atelier

A studio of form and of soul.

Founded in Portugal in 2026.

01History

Two disciplines, one practice.

Forma & Alma was founded by Andrea Cardoso with the conviction that architecture and interiors should not be separated. Form gives a room its order. Soul is what makes it worth returning to.

Joined by Nadiia Kotishevska, the Atelier designs residences and hospitality spaces in Portugal and abroad, with bespoke furniture and 3D visualisation produced in-house.

02Mission

To make places that are calm, precise and lasting, for the people who live and stay in them.

03Values
  1. 01

    Timelessness with purpose

    We design for lasting relevance, not for passing attention.

  2. 02

    Material honesty

    Materials are used for what they are, and chosen to age well.

  3. 03

    One continuous work

    From plan to object, a single team keeps the whole in view.

  4. 04

    Discretion

    Our clients' homes are private. So is our work for them.

Each project starts with a conversation.
