The Culture
Our mission is to improve people’s lives through architecture, allowing meaningful interactions between them and their surrounding space.
In the last 30 years, we have been developing projects of different scales and in the most diverse architecture segments, such as commercial, corporate, residential, hospitality, industrial, healthcare, mobility and urban space. Combining a solid experience with ongoing research and innovation, we are committed to pursuing integrated and sustainable solutions through strategic planning.
We design our workspaces to promote comfort, focus and connection - creating an environment where people feel good, and work better.
Team spirit is part of Ventura + Partners’ DNA. Thus, we often organise events and team building activities, in line with our relaxed and dynamic organizational culture.
Knowing that sports and nature are fundamental allies of mental health and, consequently, productivity, we practice the motto “healthy mind in a healthy body”, promoting regular sports activities, such as futsal, cycling and hiking, as well as permanent contact with the outdoors.
