Of the need for an exhibition space came the “MATO – Art Gallery”, next to Paulo Neves sculptor’s atelier.
Looking for inspiration in their own work of the sculptor, the organic design mirrors the trace of Paulo Neves. Whole body develops without straight surfaces. As if a strange animal has born on site, mixed with the surrounding vegetation.
With a very small indoor area, in the space are held several temporary exhibitions of national and international artists.
All installation rests gently through specific points, almost levitating on the ground. The tubular metallic structure, with the exterior in expanded polyurethane is designed so as to insulate and waterproof the building as if it were a shell. We put wooden flooring with the removed trees of the site. In the interior, the whole space has been coated with plaster so as to provide a continuous surface while curving constantly serving for setting works on exhibition.
The project always takes into account the terrain where it operates, the program, the client, and the feelings we want to create to whom utilizes it.
The inspirations come to us by the terrain where the project will happen, the observation of what surrounds us, sometimes the conditions of the urban plan and when there are, the pre-existences.
All projects are important because they have different scales, which gives us a extensive knowledge and experience.
