SALTO (pt)
1. An act of jumping; leap.
2. To abruptly spring free from the ground by muscular action to overcome a certain space or to return to the same spot.

Following ten years of collaboration between London and Zurich, Andre and Marco jumped back home to Lisbon, proudly excited by the unique possibility of materializing the way they see, think, and make architecture.

SALTO is an architecture and interior design studio, operating projects across the country from its hybrid base in Lisbon, Portugal.
