About the Internship
This opportunity is based in Lisbon and combines interior architecture practice with social media and visual storytelling. You’ll be working with a boutique studio focused on bespoke residential and commercial projects, where design is shaped by materials, function, and aesthetics working together.
This is not a typical internship where you just observe. You’ll actively contribute to both technical architectural work and creative brand development, making it highly relevant for building a strong, real-world portfolio.
