The story of Residence begins in Münster, in the region of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. It was within a family environment, shaped by the discipline of craftsmanship and the transmission of knowledge between generations, that the principles defining the company today were first established: dedication to the craft, respect for detail, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Driven by the desire to bring this know-how to Portugal, Residence established its facilities in Oliveira do Hospital. This step represented more than a geographical move, it was the continuation of a vision built on resilience, determination, and a constant ambition to evolve. From its very beginning, the company has maintained a deep connection to the art of craftsmanship. Metalwork and carpentry are not merely production fields, but expressions of a tradition where technical mastery, aesthetic sensitivity, and material expertise come together to create unique pieces.
Initially focused on producing luxury pieces for a German brand, Residence gradually expanded its vision and scope. Over time, the company evolved into different international markets, contributing to projects ranging from exclusive artistic pieces to elements integrated into private residences designed by interior architects, as well as luxury hotels where refinement, detail, and quality are essential. Residence also contributes to the production of furniture for renowned international brands recognized worldwide for their originality, design, and quality, applying its technical expertise and artisanal precision to the creation of pieces that meet the highest standards. Throughout its journey, the company has faced numerous challenges, transforming each of them into an opportunity for growth. Resilience, adaptability, and the constant drive to improve have become fundamental pillars ensuring that Residence never stands still, but continues to progress.
The story of Residence is far more than the people and places that shaped its path. It is a place where the art of metalwork and carpentry is honored, where traditional craftsmanship meets innovation, and where the value of skilled hands remains at the heart of every creation. More than a company, Residence represents a place of credibility, trust, and above all, partnership, where ideas are transformed into material, where detail acquires meaning, and where every project is created with the intention of leaving something lasting.
