MIMA Housing

MIMA Housing is a Portuguese architecture and residential design firm based in Viana do Castelo, offering customizable homes through their proprietary Mima System — a modular design language that makes quality architecture accessible to both architects and individual clients. Rather than producing standard prefab units, MIMA provides a systematized approach to personalized home design with architecturally controlled projects, land-finding assistance, and a test-living facility where clients can experience a home before purchase combined with on-site design workshops. The company is also developing Mima World, software that enables fully custom designs with live renderings and real-time cost estimates. Operating primarily across mainland Portugal, MIMA Housing emphasizes timeless, simple design and construction quality, and runs initiatives such as the Discípulo architecture competition and Mima Author collaborative design projects.
