CPrata Arquitetos is the result of a collaboration between two generations of architects—Carlos Prata and Catarina Bianchi Prata (his daughter)—bringing together complementary experiences and a shared vision of architectural practice.

Over the course of decades, Carlos Prata has developed a solid practice characterized by a diversity of scales and programs, as well as a close relationship with the territory and the act of building. His body of work includes significant projects such as the Molhos do Douro, the CUF Institute, the Soares dos Reis Arts School, Douro’s Place (formerly the Codfish Cold Storage Warehouse in Massarelos), the Boavista Private Hospital, the Clara de Resende School, the School of Hospitality and Tourism, and Lipor III. It also encompasses landmark urban design interventions, notably the General Silveira Avenue in Amarante and the Douro riverfront promenade between the Dom Luís I Bridge and Afurada. These projects demonstrate a rigorous and consistent approach—grounded in accumulated experience and a profound understanding of professional practice—that is reflected in a well-established portfolio.
