Zajal is a real estate and interior design studio based in Lisbon working across interiors, property positioning and development.
We translate narrative into space to create environments defined by identity, atmosphere and a distinct way of living.

Our Services

Residential Design

For private owners, we create identity-driven homes shaped through material, atmosphere and narrative.

Property Positioning

For boutique agencies, we define how a property is positioned, perceived and presented to the market.

Selected Services

Our Manifesto

At Zajal, storytelling is instinctive.

The sea is our element. Poetry, our first language.
Texture, our way of understanding the world. And the spirit of the 70s, a reminder that homes should be unapologetically individual.

For us, stories are where everything begins. They lead to spaces that are never composed. They are interpreted.
They hold tension between presence and absence, between expression and restraint, between permanence and change.

We move between design and authorship. We shape spaces that could belong to no one else. After all, a home should never resemble a reference.

It should become the origin of one.

Journal

Research is far from passive. It is a continuous exploration of colour, light, craft, gesture and culture.

Our Journal gathers the places, ideas and references that shape the practice.
