Hello, my name is Patrícia Casanova. I am an architect by passion, and I believe that I didn’t choose this profession – it chose me! I have always been passionate about the art of creating, making with my own hands, dreaming of new places I couldn't visit, and experiencing spaces I couldn't explore. That’s why, at just 10 years old, during a bedtime conversation, when I heard the word “architect” for the first time, I discovered that there was a profession that could turn my dreams into reality. My journey began at the age of 13 when I chose Visual and Technological Education as a subject. It continued through Eça de Queirós Secondary School, where I built the foundation needed to achieve my goal of studying at a leading university in my field, the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Porto. There, I settled, and I learned how to turn ideas into tangible dreams.
On this path, built in inspiring and challenging places, I discovered something that I carry with me in both my personal and professional life: places are made by people, for people, and through people. Today, this is my guiding principle, to humanize architecture, demystify the role of the architect, and democratize the dream of having a home that is thought out, designed, and planned to measure. My digital home is a tool for this work. With it, I can now help more people fall in love with their homes, reach every corner of the country and the world, work without geographical limits, and grow daily with all those who follow me. Here, you will find much more than a portfolio, you will get to know a life story connected to architecture, construction, people, and the emotions associated with all of this.
