Architecture That
Belongs Here
Cube Architects was founded in 2023 by Carolina Melim, a registered Portuguese architect with a passion for creating homes that feel both modern and deeply connected to their surroundings.
Based in Funchal, we specialise exclusively in residential architecture - new construction and renovation. Every project begins with listening: understanding how you live, what you need, and how the land speaks.
Madeira's dramatic topography and varying municipal regulations make every project unique. We see these challenges as creative opportunities.
