The Residency

Located in the city center of Porto, Portugal, MAD House offers a place for international and local artists, designers, writers, researchers, filmmakers and small business owners to live, work, and develop their professional practice.

Residents live and work on-site for one to three months, with dedicated workspace, weekly guidance, and the time to focus on a project that has been waiting for their attention.

The residency is designed for people at different stages of their practice. You may arrive with a project already in motion, or with an idea you have been trying to make space for. MAD House offers a place to work alongside other creatives, connect with Porto's craft community, and establish a focused rhythm for making and moving work forward.

Formerly an architect’s studio in Porto, MAD House was designed with Fala Atelier around the Original character of the building, creating both a space for both living and working.
