Selected work
Each commission is unlike the last. That is not a difficulty we hide — it is the discipline we are built on.
The way we work
We don't make products. We resolve singular projects — from the first drawing to the final installation.
Turnkey means the whole is ours. Design, engineering and production live under one roof — 6,000 m², 155 machines and 50 technicians, gathered for a single purpose: to make the complex feel inevitable.
We turn an intention into buildable, considered drawings.
We solve what is never solved the same way twice.
We make, finish and install what we draw — in-house, to the millimetre.
Palácio Nacional de Mafra · 2025
Inside a sleeping wing of the Mafra palace, 8,000 m² were brought back to life to double a museum. Some 500 instruments — a Stradivarius cello, the Antunes harpsichords — asked for cabinetry that disappears so the object can speak, and for a route a hand can read in Braille and a body can feel underfoot. Here the millimetre protects the priceless.
EGEAC · Belém, Lisbon · 2025
A former food warehouse became a living home for some 1,500 works. Upon Carrilho da Graça's architecture, our task was a quiet one: joinery and display that hold their own beside Marina Abramović or Rui Chafes, and never ask to be seen. The finest craft is the kind you forget to look at.
Church of São Julião · Lisbon · 2015
In a deconsecrated church in Lisbon's Baixa — with King Dinis's 13th-century wall sleeping beneath it — the Banco de Portugal wanted a museum you cross like an experience. Suspended glass showcases, a river of metal inlaid into the timber floor, rooms that move from dark to light: our joinery and metalwork gave body to a museography that treats money as memory. Where archaeology is the foundation, the detail must be invisible.
Municipality of Nisa · 2024
From a drawing by architect Manuel da Fonseca, we gave body to a façade sculpture 36 metres long and 6 metres high. CNC, XPS, steel structure and scenic polyurea translated, at monumental scale, the floral reliefs of Nisa's felt blankets and the stacked jars of its studded pottery — a region's identity turned into architecture. Where craft meets contemporary technique, tradition takes on monumental scale.
Metro Mondego · Coimbra · 2022–2026
We produced and installed the entire set of passenger shelters for the new Metrobus do Mondego — more than 80 stops along the line. The original design posed integration problems we resolved to make production viable: materials and forms of genuine complexity, each component re-engineered in detail. From technical resolution to full production, from handling to on-site installation, we delivered the whole turnkey. Where a city moves every day, the detail has to outlast it.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · 2026
Turnkey knows no borders. The new Al Arabiya studios in Riyadh carry our production into one of the world's most demanding markets — engineering, fabrication and installation a continent away.
Rio 2016 Olympic Games · 2016
In a competition that gathered manufacturers from around the world, we were chosen to produce the medal cases for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The brief was almost a contradiction: reproduce 5,280 organic wooden cases, each turned to match the last with perfect exactness. Every piece travelled with a medal to more than 78 countries — perhaps the smallest object we have ever made, and one of the proudest chapters in our history.
