About the Author

Sofia Borges is an acclaimed architect and author whose work bridges the worlds of design and narrative storytelling. With a background in sustainable architecture from the University of Lisbon, she has spent over two decades exploring how built environments shape human experience, from intimate shelters to expansive landscapes. Her writing delves into the poetry of hidden spaces, examining the psychological and cultural significance of retreats in an increasingly connected world. Borges's debut book, Hide and Seek: The Architecture of Cabins and Hideouts, has been praised for its evocative blend of memoir, history, and design theory, earning accolades from the Architectural Review and inspiring a new generation of eco-conscious builders. She divides her time between Portugal and the Pacific Northwest, where she continues to advocate for thoughtful, nature-integrated living.
