A design that belongs to the landscape it sits in.
Contemporary, signature architecture conceived for its site. From first concept to final specification. And, when the client wishes, the same house oversees the works — execution stays with the appointed contractor, technical responsibility with whoever drew it.
The two lines
Whoever draws it follows the works.
The two lines can be engaged together or separately.
02 03 Works & renovation
Site supervision and technical responsibility for high-end works and renovation. The building contractor is engaged separately.

The method
From concept to keys.
The process is the same from the first study: understand the site and how the house will be lived in, fix the concept, and only then detail it. No stage moves forward without written approval of the one before.

Design scope
What the design covers.
The drawing does not end at the floor plan. The delivery covers materials, lighting and everything the works need in order not to improvise on site.
- Preliminary study
- Schematic design
- Statutory drawings and planning approval
- Construction documents
- Joinery detailing
- Finishes specification
- Lighting design
- Coordination with the consultant packages
Construction and renovation
We are not the builder. We are who answers for the works.
The works are carried out by a contractor engaged separately — and it is Studio D1 that answers for them technically. We inspect the site, measure progress, sign off stage by stage and manage suppliers, so the owner never has to coordinate contractor, joiner and landscaper alone. Renovating an occupied house is handled with an agreed schedule and agreed access, never improvised.
- Schedule and cost plan
- Supplier management
- Periodic measurement and reporting
- Handover against a signed checklist
Why inside the group
The design begins before the land is bought.
Sitting inside 77 Legacy Group changes the order of things: feasibility is read while the property is still being appraised, not after the deed is signed.
Brokerage, architecture, site supervision and management each have their own specialist team — and the four arms operate under the same direction. Nothing is lost between suppliers who never speak to one another.

Technical lead
Every project has a name answering for it.
Ricardo Meira
Architect in charge
Studio D1 is led by architect Ricardo Meira, technically responsible for both design and construction. The concept carries his signature, and so does accountability for what leaves the site — from first study to handover.
How it begins
Tell us about the site or the house.
A first conversation is enough to know whether the project makes sense, and in what order. No information about the property is released without the owner's consent.
One standard, from first concept to final specification.
The same care we give a beachfront mansion, we give to the last filter change.
