Sofia Neves

Architect

Porto, Portugal
For almost thirteen years I have been working in the architecture field on various types of projects to obtain a diverse work experience.
I had the opportunity to work on several programs with different kind of complexity, such as master plans, public space renovations, residential, commercial, offices and interior design projects.
I am constantly looking for new challenges and for me each project is an opportunity to find ways of improving the quality of my work.
