TRAÇOELEMENTAR

The studio

The studio and the team

An architecture and interior design studio with its own shop, in the centre of Funchal, since 12 January 2011.

Traço Elementar designs and transforms houses, flats, offices, holiday rentals and hotel spaces in Madeira. The name describes the method: everything starts with a simple line (traço), which grows until it becomes a whole space.

The studio and the shop share the same space on Rua Princesa D. Amélia. This is where we design our projects, spread fabric samples across the table and welcome our clients. Visitors can sit on the sofas, touch the fabrics and see the colours in natural light.

We work for private clients and businesses with the same care: listen first, design next, and stay with you until the last piece.

What guides us

    01

    Natural light

    The island's light is the best companion to a good design. We design from it.

    02

    Precision

    Accurate measurements, clear drawings and decisions made before the works, not during them.

    03

    Pieces that last

    Materials and fabrics chosen for Madeira's climate and for everyday use.

    04

    One team

    Design, works and decoration with the same people, from the first drawing to handover.

She is very attuned to each client's personality and manages to reflect it in the decoration.

“Depois de muita procura, o Traço Elementar foi a empresa que mais me surpreendeu e me satisfez. Uma enorme variedade de designs, cores, texturas e formatos. Sofás e mobílias sublimes.”
