“While working on the renovation of our townhouse, we bought some pieces from João, and were really inspired by his vision and bold yet elegant designs. We sought his design advice, and his recommendations have helped turn our house into a beautiful home which is a joy to live in. In addition to his vision, João is friendly, easy to work with and truly cares about delivering the highest level of service you can imagine. We highly recommend him and will for sure use his talents again in our next projects.”

He is able to provide simple yet marvellous touches with inspired bespoke design pieces that add “wow factor” to any room. He has got immense talent and we really can’t recommend his exceptional customer service, elegant furniture and affable demeanour highly enough. Thank you Joao!”

“João has an incredible eye for beauty, detail and design. His appreciation of architecture, furniture, fashion, materials and textiles make his style truly unique. Working with him has been such an inspiration. His ability to transform the normal to the very beautiful is instinctive in his approach, something he has finely tuned over the years. Our project wasn’t an easy one given the mixed periods throughout, however João’s ability to bring harmony to the entire home came through many bespoke pieces of furniture which added a touch of sophisticated glamour to every room. ”

“I am delighted that Loxone was chosen as the home automation system for Casa Botelho and that Autopilot Living can be showcased in such a breathtaking setting. I’ve yet to meet someone who rivals João’s passion and skill for using lighting to create drama and intrigue in a home.The fact that Loxone was selected as the system of choice for such a statement home is testimony to its ability to enhance interior design, rather than compete with it. To me, smart home technology should not be about overcomplicated gadgetry or obtrusive control panels. Instead, the personality and character of a home should take centre stage, as it does in Casa Botelho.”
Philipp Schuster
Managing Director, Loxone UK
“I have known Joao for a number of years and watched with amazement as he took on demanding design projects, fully translated the customer’s needs and delivered beautifully executed projects on time and to budget. Joao, never forsakes taste or quality, while juggling the many conflicting elements of design, budget and times scales.Additionally, although Joao has a style, he also had the ability to assist the client to express their own style, so at the completion of a project, the client is left with a home that represents them.I cannot recommend Joao highly enough!”

“Joao of Casa Botelho was an absolute joy to work with. He had immediate clarity of vision, but never failed to consider our thoughts as clients. He advised on colour schemes, furniture and lighting choices, de-cluttering and introducing touches of luxe as he went along. Our much-loved family home of thirty years, had good ‘bone structure’ but was extremely tired. Joao totally transformed the feeling of the house, yet managed to stay totally within our budget. He has an incredible sense of style, but even more crucially, has amazing people skills. Joao was unfailingly patient and charming – key qualities when you are dealing with clients who want a transformation but are nervous about radical change! We couldn’t be happier with the transformative effect of his input.”
Sian Cox

“Working with João was such a joy. His design ideas and suggestions are unique, one-of-a-kind and extremely thoughtful. He is a great listener, detailed oriented and has the ability to create exceptional luxe designs that are sophisticated and timeless. I loved every minute of the process.”
