We work with an ever-expanding community of creatives to ensure that our projects, regardless of client or scale, are enhanced by interdisciplinary knowledge, resources and experience. The same goes for our practice areas. We believe that the interplay between architecture and design leads to more robust and distinctive creations.

The studio's name represents this happy paradox: it gives voice to our personal aspirations, but also to our collective creativity. «im» refers to our names, Inês Moreira and Miguel Moreira, and to our singular but intertwined paths. If «im» is for the singular, «collective» is for all the partnerships that the studio has, and there are many, ranging from architecture and interiors to graphic and product design projects. It also includes special events or projects, such as the «collective collection» — a limited line of solid wood furniture designed by us, or the «collective talks» — conversations with creatives held at our studio in Leça da Palmeira, Porto, Portugal.
