"This was the second house project we did with Ana Rita and we know it won't stop here! As always the communication was very smooth and Ana Rita and her team have the gift of knowing what we like and the ability to come up with wonderful suggestions tailored to our budget. This project had the added complexity of importing most goods from Portugal to the UK but the ARS team made it as easy as possible for us: import logistics, team flown in to assemble everything and very smooth follow ups with a local partner. Thank you again Ana Rita for the wonderful project - let there be many more!"
"Our collaboration with Atelier Ana Rita began in 2013 to bring the Moon Hill Hostel in Sintra to life. At the time, we were convinced by the quality of the presentation of what she had in mind for the project, which matched our desire to create a welcoming and practical space, showcasing Portuguese roots to those who stayed with us. While the final result speaks for itself, it is important to highlight the invisible work done by Ana Rita's studio, ensuring that delivery and assembly timings were met, always keeping on top of the progress of the work and integrating their part into the overall process. The proof that everything went well was given in the best possible way—in the next project, there was no need to go to the market to do research—our decorator was chosen from the outset. In the Somewhere project, we had the essential help of Atelier Ana Rita Soares, who collaborated with us from the beginning to create an ultra-comfortable and charming environment, making customers feel at home. It is important to tell the story of one of our customers who, upon seeing the space, demanded to meet the decorator and has since also become a customer of Ana Rita. It ends up being a good summary of what this experience was like - a space was created to accommodate guests, guests who became customers."
"We were so happy with their project in London that we have asked her to do the plan work for a project we are developing in Lisbon too. I am already trying to think of the next project to collaborate with Ana Rita and I am sure she will continue to create beautiful homes which work in a tailored manner for each of her clients. Thanks for everything!"
"Ana and her team ran an extremely efficient yet personalized process. In addition to designing the entire apartment, including 3 ensuite bedrooms, living room + dining area, kitchen, office, and roof terrace, Ana also interfaced with my architect and contractors which saved me a lot of time and improved structural aspects of the apartment considerably. Ana's initial proposal was so incredibly well aligned with my taste that we barely made any adjustments to it. Her selections of furniture, fabrics and art work were extremely well curated and create a harmonious feel throughout the apartment. Visitors always point out how beautifully designed our apartment is and my family has enjoyed the comfort of the apartment from the moment we moved in. I couldn't be happier with Ana's work and look forward to working with her team again on future projects."
"Atelier ARS was recommended by a friend in Portugal. After we purchased a three-bedroom condo in Lisbon, we wanted to get the right designer that would create a “ WOW” impression as we walked into every room. From the first contact with ARS, I knew that they were extremely professional, personable, and very talented which we needed doing this project remotely with us in the US. The 3 D rendering that they presented was so detailed even my friend who is a professional interior architect was very impressed. We were amazed at the attention to details and the explanation and theory behind their decisions. Their execution was just as good and we know we made the right choice, would retain them again, and would highly recommend them to others."
"Throughout the whole project, from the initial brief of modern luxury to the last delivery of carefully selected top end furniture and interior design elements, fabrics, textures, shapes etc; the process was highly professionally executed with impeccable sense of high end interior design while capturing the essence of ‘modern luxury home’ under a tight schedule. End result is absolutely fantastic and timeless to the smallest detail - for years to enjoy the perfect house with the perfect interior design. The team is highly professional and it really shows in every single step through the whole project. “This one goes to eleven!"

"Through a thorough briefing (with a unique ability to listen to my desires) added to an extraordinary flexibility, Ana was able to take the ideas that were in my head, transform them and materialize into images – 3D Projects. I found this amazing. This commercial project is my life, it's about my life, and I'm very grateful to Ana for being able to understand the importance of this project for me. The project was done without changes, and it was perfect. I really love it."
"Our house turned out spectacular and we are super satisfied with the work done by ARS-ID. The project went very well and the interaction we had with the Atelier was great. In addition to the amazing decoration, your team helped us a lot to solve some problems that the house had and whose solutions were very well achieved. Examples are the sliding panel that separates the kitchen from the living room, the concealment of the living room pillar that is now not even known to be there, and the way in which the kids' bedrooms were resolved. Our house would never be so beautiful and functional without your help. All the atelier staff was very professional, helpful and always available. Thank you all for the fantastic job you've done!"
"Ana Rita and her team did a phenomenal job with our Lisbon apartment. Ana Rita is a great listener who quickly understood our needs for a comfortable, functional, and elegant second home. The Atelier works with an excellent array of national and international suppliers, and all the made-to-measure products are top of the range. Furthermore, interacting and making decisions from a distance was incredibly easy and pressure-free."
"Ana Rita and her team captured well our tastes as a couple, which do not necessarily match, and knew how to combine them perfectly. The Atelier’s involvement in the structural design phase was important for the achieved success. They understood the environment, functionality, and materials we wanted for each area in the house. They challenged us with proposals and options that we had not considered, which worked out very well. The products supplied by the Atelier’s partners, namely the custom-made ones, are of high quality and the work performed by them was very professional."
"Ana Rita is a special person, who I was extremely lucky to meet when purchasing an apartment in Portugal! She is a sensitive, elegant, and competent professional who, despite the limited contact, perfectly understood my taste and my personality. The Atelier made my apartment a Home away from Home, which is better than I could have imagined. I just have to thank her!"
"The high professionalism and dedication of its collaborators, stressing the commitment shown by the architect Ana Rita Soares throughout the project, were unparalleled, with full attention to detail and rigor in every aspect. And the result is visible: in addition to having already been the focus on the media, every time someone visits the house, they are enchanted with the design and the atmosphere created."
