The Studio
“a dash of Portuguese panache.”
Guanilho Design is a “Lifestyle Concept”. We are not wedded to any particular style or period. We do not follow trends. We create unique concepts for you our clients.
Guanilho Design is a full Architectural and Interior Design service, including bespoke kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, upholstery and lighting; every detail from initial concept to final completion. We combine design and functionality with the unexpected. The result is unique.
Working closely with you we ensure an accurate and sensitive interpretation of your desire for comfort and elegance, adding value to your project.
Original thinking coupled with a passion for design and attention to detail ensures that each project is tailored to your individual requirements.
Guanilho Design approaches each project as a team working in cooperation with talented Portuguese artisans and craftspeople.
At Guanilho Design we take care of the entire project from start to finish: from concept through detailed design and realisation to final snagging. Our service is all about delivering and also making your project trouble free.
