She left London with a First-Class Degree, exhibited her work in one of the UK’s most prestigious design galleries, and now transforms homes in the middle of the Atlantic.
I’m Micaela Faria, a portuguese interior architect trained in London where I lived for 5 years, and founder of Atalho, an interior architecture studio based on the beautiful island of Madeira. After 10+ years of experience in interior design and architecture, I decided to use my expertise to help international clients remodel their homes in Madeira, Portugal — with clarity and professionalism. I’ve worked with families across Europe, from remote consultations to full renovation planning, always focused on one clear goal: making every project smarter, more intentional, and easier — especially for clients who live abroad. This isn’t just design.
It’s remodeling with purpose, strategy, and vision.
