Our story

BIM+A is an architecture and interior design studio that connects European expertise with the fast-paced Middle Eastern market.With studios in Porto and Dubai, we partner with architecture firms, developers, and contractors to deliver projects defined by efficiency, reliability, and design excellence.
BIM+A was founded by architect Joana Torres, who, after more than a decade in Dubai, identified a clear gap in the industry: the need for a highly qualified, flexible, and specialized partner for outsourced architectural services. Born in one of the world’s most demanding and innovative markets, BIM+A brings together advanced BIM technology, experienced architects, and deep knowledge of complex project delivery.

The name itself captures our essence:
BIM — our digital proficiency and commitment to innovation.
