Today, we invite you to join Miguel Clemente, one of our visionary designers, along with Nuno Mamede Santos, as they embark on an extraordinary journey through a breathtaking 54-hectare property in the enchanting region of Brotas, Mora, Portugal. This awe-inspiring project aims to harmoniously integrate a private household, a captivating tourist zone, and a flourishing horse-based business, all while nurturing the health and vitality of both the animals and the captivating landscape.
“A charming property where our design can truly make a difference by adding a central structure to the land, addressing existing challenges, and harnessing the power of nature to accelerate the regeneration process.” said Miguel Clemente about the property.
Setting the Stage: Access and Water Retention: In any remarkable landscape design, creating accessible pathways and optimizing water management lay the foundation for success.

During our field visit, we immerse ourselves in the mesmerizing landscape, embracing its pre-existing wonders, rich biodiversity, and untapped ecological potential. By integrating the owner’s vision with the inherent wisdom of nature, we craft designs that transform dreams into living realities, where humans and nature coexist in perfect harmony.
