Dear Bom Sucesso Community
I’m Ben, and I created this page because I fell in love with Portuguese modern architecture right here – in Bom Sucesso.
You’re the First to See It!
Over the past years, I’ve studied modern architecture all across Portugal. This website is the result of that journey. It’s called:
PORTUGAL MODERN – Architecture You Can See, Visit, — or Call Home.
Portugal is full of surprises.
At first glance, it’s the past that stands out in Portugal — tiled houses, stone churches, historic charm. But look a little closer, and you’ll find something else:
A quiet, powerful world of modern and postmodern architecture in Portugal.
After years of exploring, I realized how much there is to discover — bold, thoughtful design, often hidden in plain sight.
For me, the place that brought it all together was Bom Sucesso.
It’s the most ambitious modern architecture projects in Europe – “… the largest living, permanent exhibition of private, contemporary architecture.”
I wanted to share the beauty we live with every day.
And the presentation of Bom Sucesso is just the beginning. This project will grow to reveal modern architecture across Portugal – homes, public spaces, and hidden gems by the country’s greatest architects.
