A garden is permanent in space which has its own identity, but is constantly changing over time. What we do today is reflected in tomorrow.

SOURE This single-family residence is in the countryside, more precisely in the Mondego valley. All of the outdoor areas were recovered. A modern minimalist front yard was created. The outdoor areas were divided into 4 floors to follow the existing topography. On the 2nd floor (-1), the existing patio was converted into a winter garden that provides wonderful views from the living room, creating a Zen environment. 2 steps down, the existing outdoor kitchen was redesigned to improve the amplitude of the space, the space was also covered to be used during all seasons. On the existing terrace, a pergola provides climate comfort while plants keep away the annoying bugs. On the 3rd floor (-2), the wildland gave place to a relaxing leisure area with a beautiful swimming pool. An olive tree creates a focal point and disguises the stairs that continue to the lower level of the garden. The garden is located on the 4th floor (-3), with a reasonable lawn area and some trees.

DESCRIPTIVE NARRATIVE OF THE GARDEN The outdoor areas recovery was planned in such a way as to allow for the passage of the sun rays in the late afternoon. No matter where the members are when the sun goes down… One can be in the pool area, delighted by the sunset reflected on the water or preparing an outdoor dinner with natural light during a late summer afternoon, or even in the living room overlooking the winter garden while the last sun rays light up the magnolia tree. .
12
On the terrace, the members enjoy pleasant conversations sitting on outdoor sofas, invaded by the aromas of nature, but not by annoying bugs. In the garden, the children can play on the lawn under the trees, while the dog has a specific circulation area. Areas: -

ESMORIZ This residential accommodation in the seaside city of Esmoriz, needed an improvement in the outdoor areas, thus, the existing wildland was converted into a leisure area with an amazing swimming pool surrounded by a cozy garrigue garden. At the bottom of the garden, an artificial dune was created, channeling the views. There is also a panoramic swing facing the sea and the sunset. This is a low maintenance garden, without a watering system. All plants chosen are drought resistant and can tolerate exposure to the ocean.
19
People choose this place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here one can relax and enjoy moments of peace and tranquility. From indoors, one can see the sky reflected on the swimming pool. The summer evening sunset mirrored on the water creates an explosion of brightness right in the center of the garden. The path that takes the guests to the pool provides a comfortable trip even for those who like to go barefoot. The Garrigue plants flanking the route, convey a feeling of immersion in nature. Surrounded by biodiversity, children run through the flowery meadow to discover nature, while adults relax on the lounge chairs by the pool.

CANELAS This single-detached house is located in Canelas, near the Aveiro lagoon. The 1000m2 field is now an intimate garden with a leisure area that includes a swimming pool near the house. The garden is located in a windy region, therefore, it was necessary to include a pane of glass which works as a physical barrier. Hereby, the users of the swimming pool area can be delighted with the beautiful garden views with all the climate comfort they deserve, at the same time. After the swimming pool area, there’s a comfort zone with toilets and a doghouse… To disguise this impactful construction in the garden, the proposal included a small and colorful woodland garden. Butterfly bushes were chosen to disguise the existing water wheel, improving biodiversity as well. 24

26
All chosen plants can tolerate exposure to the ocean. The existing trees were kept (Olea europaea and Acer palmatum) but transplanted to different places. The fruit trees at the end of the garden provide the 4 family members with nutritional needs, and the chickens in the coop will provide trustful eggs. This was a simple and modern solution, designed to be easy to clean up. It was necessary to increase the wall heigh for privacy reasons... To disguise the verticality, a small rock garden with garrigue vegetation (low water garden) was created in the front yard.

ONGOING NURSING HOME 30
The nursing home is located in Albergaria, a countryside city of Portugal, where older people do not have access to a good quality of life. The proposal is based on a healing garden designed for people with reduced mobility, to promote their interaction with nature, easing the feeling of claustrophobia. This way, the members will be able to receive visitors (family and friends) outdoors, disguising the idea of living in an institution.

GARDEN CENTER
32
This Garden Centre located in Cacia (Aveiro city), is known for the quality and innovation of the products available. The indoors are already organized according to the minimalist concept. However, the outdoor areas don’t live up to the shop’s philosophy. A front yard, that works as the company business card, was created.

Protected Landscape Strategy – Serra D’Ossa A long time ago, Serra D’Ossa was considered a precious treasure for Alentejo, because of its water resources. However, the eucalyptus trees, introduced for economic reasons, destroyed the ecosystem and the rare vegetation that used to grow there gave place to monoculture. It was possible to identify some tourist attractions in this landscape unit: -
Alto de S.Gens São Paulo Monastery Serra D’Ossa Walking Trails Fountains
35
-
Dolmen of Corticeira Evoramonte Castle
This protected landscape strategy proposal considered the need to convert the eucalyptus forests. Several existing rural paths were used to create a set of greenways that make the connection between the different tourist attractions. Along those greenways, there are some break spots and one picnic area. 36
PRAÇA 1º DE MAIO 1st of May square is right in the center of Evora and follows the main market building in a parallel manner. It is surrounded by historical monuments, a university campus and the main garden. The proposal developed for this space includes paths, a monumental staircase, a beautiful reflecting pool, a coffee shop, a generous lawn and multigenerational equipment. While the monumental staircase connects the square to the famous St. Francis Church (promoting a better circulation between the monument and the green area), the water feature works as a mirror, that makes the space look wider. The paths were kept wide enough to allow the fairs to take place during the weekend The vegetation seems to have been expanded from the public garden.

Greenways Viana do Alentejo Viana do Alentejo is surrounded by a landscape where several ecosystems interact. In some places the biodiversity is greater, in others it is notable for a more significant human intervention. It is possible to see the typical Alentejo cork oak forest and there’s a generous olive cultivation area near the Alvito Dam. It was possible to identify some tourist attractions: The Gothic Castle in Viana do Alentejo; The Dolmen of Aguiar; Nossa Sra. D’Aires’ Sanctuary; S.Bartolomeu do Outeiro viewpoint; The Alvito dam. The proposal included 5 trails for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, interconnected and based on old rural paths. The improvement of the tourist attractions’ surrounding areas was also considered, as well as the recovery of the Ganhoteira thermal baths building. 43
