Rafael Rodrigues Braguês
Architect — Lisbon / Brussels
About
Architecture is the art of making
space speak for those who inhabit it.
Rafael Rodrigues Braguês is a Portuguese architect based between Lisbon and Brussels. He studied architecture at the Faculdade de Arquitectura de Lisboa and completed a master's degree at the Université Libre de Bruxelles.

His practice operates across scales — from intimate residential interiors to urban mixed-use buildings — with a consistent interest in the relationship between material, light, and spatial sequence.
