We develop and support the licensing of architectural and construction projects in the Algarve, Portugal, Faro District, specifically in the municipalities of Faro, Olhão, Loulé, Albufeira, and Lagos. The use of BIM methodology is a fundamental part of increasing productivity, collaboration, and further reducing costs.
Special attention is paid to aspects that promote a peaceful and healthy life, especially natural light, thermal comfort, and the connection with the outside world. Construction solutions are designed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the project's objectives and its feasibility on site.
Born in Faro - Portugal, João Henrique Monteiro completed his degree in architecture at the University of Porto in 2005, including a year of exchange at the University of Brandenburg, in Germany. He collaborated in architecture offices in Porto and Faro, having worked with the licensing of private works at the Municipality of Loulé until 2016.
In 2018, he completed a master's degree in Design and Construction Project Management at Chalmers Technical University in Gothenburg, Sweden. Also in Gothenburg, he collaborated professionally for two more years, where he developed skills in BIM (Building Information Modelling).
In 2021, he started his activity as an entrepreneur architect by creating hArq with the aim of providing architectural services and consultancy. A lover of nature, sports and outdoor activities, he currently lives in Portugal and in Finland.
Pragmatism: The priority to move forward is to consider the practical value of the options to be taken in the development of the project.
Sustainability: The design of buildings must take into account not only the environmental impact, but also the social and economic ones.
Feasibility: Design decisions must always take into account their implications for the execution of the work.
Clarity: Choosing the means and methods of communication is paramount, especially between people of different cultures and nationalities.
