What Mude does

Mude (legal entity ESPAÇO MUDE, LDA) is a private architecture and interior design studio founded in 2013 by Tiago Amorim in Vila Nova de Famalicão, northern Portugal. The firm operates from a single studio housed in a historic building in the city center (relocated in 2022) and offers two core services — Arquitetura (architecture) and Design de Interiores (interior design) — alongside supplementary offerings including 3D project visualization, 2D/3D decoration design, remodeling construction works, and custom furniture and textile production. Projects span residential (single-family homes, apartments, rehabilitations) and commercial (retail, offices, specialized spaces such as personal training studios) end markets across the Norte region, including Vila Nova de Famalicão, Braga, Vizela, and Vila do Conde.

The studio uses 3D rendering technology to produce immersive project visualizations for client presentation, and its core differentiator is a philosophy of "timeless style over fleeting trends," positioning personalized, aesthetic-led design against trend-driven alternatives. The business is founder-led, with Tiago Amorim (licensed architect, Ordem dos Arquitetos member, specializing in Architectural and Urban Recovery) as the sole named principal.

Mude operates a project-based professional services model with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing customized per engagement. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on a project portfolio website, organic social presence (Instagram, LinkedIn), and a website contact form to generate inquiries — there is no disclosed paid acquisition, sales team, or partnership channel. The company has no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents, no certifications, and no disclosed revenue or headcount data.
