Aires Mateus, the partnership of brothers Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus, is known for their minimalist and sculptural approach to architecture. Their designs often feature clean lines, simple geometries, and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. The Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum and the Casa em Melides are notable examples of their work.
