About Land

AND SKETCH

We moved to Portugal looking for something simple — more space, more time, and more connection to the land.
We found more than that.

Land and Sketch is our family’s project.
We explore Portugal’s landscapes, sketch simple ideas for living, and share them with others dreaming of a new beginning.

Each place we visit inspires a new sketch — a small house, a cabin, a retreat — designed with respect for the land and the life around it.

Our work is about more than architecture.
It’s about arriving somewhere and imagining what could be built with care.

We believe that great design can be simple, sustainable, and deeply personal.
If you’re looking for land, a plan, or just inspiration, we invite you to follow along.

Welcome to Land and Sketch.

our Vision and Philosophy

We imagine a way of living that is closer to nature, simpler in design, and rooted in place.

We believe land is not just something to own — it’s something to understand, respect, and build with care.
Each sketch we create is a starting point for a thoughtful home, shaped by the land itself.

Our vision is to help others see the potential of Portugal’s landscapes through fresh eyes — and inspire new beginnings that are lighter, slower, and more connected.
