"What really impressed us in the work of Filipa Lacerda Atelier was the fact that everything met the design briefing specifications and that budget and timing were fully respected.
Besides the excellent quality of her work, she is extremely flexible and able to developed an effective relationship with our team.
The know-how, the presence in all stages and the great interaction with other people involved were fundamental to help identify problems, trouble-shoot and define alternative plans whenever necessary.
The result was a great success!"

"Politeness, knowledge and flexibility are in my opinion Filipa's main qualities. She has helped me more than once - and help is the right word for she uses her vast knowledge of interior design to guide our design choices. she shows the positives and negative points of each design alternative without imposing her personal opinion. The result? Homes that fully respect the personalities of their owners. And in the end we get to feel that it's all due to us and that Filipa only lent a hand!"

''As we are pretty conservative in our style, it was fascinating to see how Filipa made us start to understand and love architecture, modern design and interiors. She easily understands our wishes. Filipa has a methodical and rigorous approach to work.''

''Creativity, efficiency, trustworthiness and understanding of the clients' needs. These few words summarize the experience we had with Filipa Lacerda, who managed to transform what we anticipated would be a stressful project (we live thousands of miles away from the apartment that Filipa was asked to renew) into months of comforting and amusing activities. In the end, with no frights nor surprises (except for the good ones) we received our apartment exactly how we had imagined it should be.
Another extremely important aspect was the constant attention we received from Filipa. It is very rare to find a professional that combines quality and is always available at any time. Filipa made us feel unique, as if she had all the time in the world just for us!''
