Next stop: Portugal, to meet Maria Rebelo and João Paupério, whom together in 2019, have founded Atelier Local.

Have you ever though about gosht writing applied to architecture? Maybe its more common than we think.

What is style?

Maybe, “style is what allows you to go further (…) if you repeat a same way of addressing an issue, your mind gets liberated to address other issues.

“Your own limitations travel with you wherever you go. Maybe that is what style is. (…) that’s the only way you know how to solve a problem.”

“Style is a limitation”.

Maybe.

“Once you start to reflect upon that, you start to use it more properly.”

For sure.

“We know a little bit about Palladio but we also know a little bit about ugly kitchens from our grandmothers.”

The real question here is: how local is Leroy Merlin?
