Study - Traditional Alentejo houses have unique identities. An exceptional location on the landscape, a rectangular, L shape or stretch form that follows the geography and a position that takes de most from the sun, the views, and accesses.
Each client has different needs and expectations, an ambition, and history that must be fully understood and answered.
When we accept a new challenge is all about an identity that must be carefully studied and lined.
This is the first of three of stages developed to solve a prime challenge.
It starts with a briefing that is intended to get to know the family behind the client.
Then the expectation of both. This sets up an objective program.
Studying is the path used to find the property that has the best possible characteristics to answer the needs and expectations of each client.
A traditional home in Alentejo that fits exactly that ambition.
Design - This tool is used to fit the program that was compiled from the study conducted in the first stage (Study) of our approach.
Knowledge, experience, and drawing skills take us to different solutions, alternative imaginaries, an interior, and an exterior living space.
Through Design we manage information, legislation, and the direction that follows the plan.
In this stage the client is presented with drawn ideas, and images that illustrate an environment and a plan.
Once the plan is approved it is time to manage and solve the bureaucracy.
A technical process is unleashed to guarantee that the final permit is approved.
That permit is the ticket for the most ambitioned end.
Being able to renovate or build a house in the property identified and acquired by the client.
However, it is in your best interest that a property can be renovated without the need for a permit since it is faster.
Alentejo PRIME solutions are based on a detailed understanding of Portuguese construction law.
Build - Renovation is a delicate matter. Deciding which builder responds the best to what is in the project can be tricky.
Our responsibility is to ensure that we select the right builder.
ALENTEJO Prime manages the process until the end, by following a predetermined schedule, solving the construction issues, keeping up with the budget, attending to any demands from the authorities, and redesigning small parts of the architecture so that we meet the best from detailing interior and exterior design.
The client is constantly updated. We are always focused on delivering a PRIME experience.
A home that is the material realization of an ambition, that enhances a positive change in a family life.
Only then, our job will be done.
