Located in the municipality of Sintra, Urban Status is situated in the locality of Cabeço de Manique, within the broad area of the Santa Maria and São Miguel, São Martinho, and São Pedro de Penaferrim urbanizations. This predominantly residential area offers a quieter and more peaceful perspective of the Sintra surroundings, distancing itself from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy centers. Its position in Cabeço de Manique gives it a more secluded setting, while nonetheless maintaining a connection to the municipality's identity.
Within the Urban Status space, one can observe a dedication to and appreciation for distinctive elements of Portuguese culture and craftsmanship. The presence of references to azulejo (tiles), an undeniable symbol of art and history in Portugal, and cortiça (cork), a natural material of deep economic and cultural relevance to the country, highlights a focus on these raw materials and their diverse applications. This aspect underscores how artisanal traditions are maintained and adapted in contemporary contexts.
Urban Status offers a space designed with a focus on its versatility and adaptability. Its organization and design allow the venue to accommodate different types of configurations and uses. This characteristic gives the environment a multifunctional nature, offering a context that can be adjusted for various initiatives, always with sobriety and functionality in mind. The architecture of the venue reflects this capacity to respond to multiple needs.
