A New Project In Sintra Portugal

 

"The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!”
Fernando Pessoa

 

We revel working within different contexts and cultures around the world. This month we’ve been appointed to design a luxury residence located north of Lisbon, along the beautiful Portuguese Riviera.

The site is located within the Sintra-Cascais natural park on the outskirts of the historic town of Sintra. The town is known for its historic palaces, gardens and nearby UNESCO world heritage site.

These images from our recent site visit reveal a natural landscape abundant with trees and flowers. Silence rests between shades of green and the yellow of a nearby lemon grove.

We will be returning shortly to undertake further research into climate and circumstance - before we begin the deep thinking time that defines the output of our work.
