Promontorio

architeture of leisure

Barata, Paulo Martins (ed.)

Promontorio, founded in Lisbon in 1990 as an experimental practice, has since grown into a multidisciplinary team of over 60 architects, planners, landscape architects, and interior and graphic designers. ‘Architecture of Leisure’ summons the idea of holidays, travelling, well-being, and ‘joie de vivre’ – places that are designed to indulge our senses, bringing us pleasure and comfort. This monograph features projects the office has developed over the past decade in hospitality and interior design, an impressive body of international work which ranges from five-star hotels, boutique resorts, and conference centres, to small apartments, restaurants, and bespoke furniture.
