ateliermob

ateliermob is a Portuguese multidisciplinary platform for the development of ideas, research and projects in the fields of architecture, city and territory. The private limited company (sociedade por quotas) was established in 2005 in Lisbon as a consequence of various works carried out jointly by its founding partners. Currently, the company consists of two partners, Andreia Salavessa and Tiago Mota Saraiva, and a team of about ten qualified professionals, associating whenever necessary with other entities and technicians in order to enrich and broaden the multidisciplinary spectrum of its services. The practice is known for its commitment to participatory processes, community-led projects and cooperative housing in Portugal. In 2016, following work previously developed within ateliermob, the cooperative 'trabalhar com os 99%' (working with the 99%) was established. This cooperative is dedicated to intervention architecture, the development of participatory and cooperative processes, the design and implementation of public policies and strategic development. It brings together people and entities committed to promoting the public interest and qualifying territorial and social practices. The cooperative participates in various national and international networks and platforms, namely ReKreators, DLBC Lisboa, Placemaking Europe and Coopmmunity. It has been monitoring the elaboration of public policies such as the European Urban Agenda (2016) and the Basic Housing Law (2019). ateliermob's work spans architectural design, urban rehabilitation, accessibility planning, public space design and housing. Notable projects include the rehabilitation of the Morais Soares street in Lisbon (proposed in 2017 under the municipal AndaLisboa programme but never executed), the rehabilitation of a housing complex in Bairro da Pedra Furada, and the Quinta do Ferro project. The practice has been recognised in competitions and awards, being among the finalists of the Novo Portugal Novo competition and the ArchDaily Brasil 'Obra do Ano 2026' award for Salão Central Eborense. It has also been featured in publications such as Time Out Lisboa and AZoBuild, and has participated in events like the Anozero'26 Coimbra Biennial and the Placemaking Week Europe. Tiago Mota Saraiva, a founding partner, is an architect and urbanist who has developed a practice strongly committed to participatory processes, community-led projects and cooperative housing in Portugal over the last two decades.
