A family business from Santarém that grew by finishing Portugal's most ambitious projects — and that now opens a new chapter with the second generation at the helm.
Esquema Curioso was founded in Santarém over 30 years ago with a single conviction: wood is living material — it demands technique, patience and respect.
Over the decades, we have been called to increasingly ambitious projects: premium condominiums in Lisbon, luxury villas in Comporta-Melides, eco-resorts on the Atlantic coast. Always with the same signature: artisanal rigor applied at industrial scale.
Today, under the leadership of the second generation, we integrate Light Steel Frame construction, modernize management and digitize processes — without ever giving up what brought us here.
Every piece of wood is treated as unique. Care begins with material selection and ends with the final touch of installation.
Three decades working with the country's largest real estate developers are proof: we meet deadlines, specifications and our word.
Light Steel Frame, high-performance composites, digital management tools — we embrace technology whenever it serves quality.
First workshop dedicated to fine carpentry and wood finishes for private residences in central Portugal.
First partnerships with leading real estate developers, executing exterior carpentry in premium condominiums in greater Lisbon.
Projects in Comporta, Melides, Cascais, Peniche. Introduction of high-performance composite decking and refinement of pre-fabrication techniques.
Adding LSF construction to the portfolio, offering lightweight and sustainable structural solutions to complement traditional carpentry.
New leadership digitizes management, launches a new brand identity and prepares the company for a new growth cycle — with the same artisanal soul.
