"The property, located in the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentina Coast Natural Park, features three main areas: a higher ridge area, a plateau area, and an extensive valley oriented northwest, extending all the way to the sea."
"The intervention stems from a thorough analysis of the territory with the aim of establishing a strong relationship with it, incorporating it without altering it."
"It is governed by a fundamental premise: to align the experience of the surrounding natural environment with the very experience of staying in the hotel."
The property sits within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentina Coast Natural Park and comprises a higher ridge, a plateau, and an extensive valley oriented northwest that reaches the sea. The design intervention derives from a thorough territorial analysis and seeks to establish a strong relationship with the landscape while incorporating it without altering it. Built elements are conceived to integrate with the existing topography and natural systems rather than dominate them. The guiding premise aligns the sensory and spatial experience of the surrounding natural environment with the experience of staying in the hotel, making landscape the central determinant of program and form.
