Designing for the Cascais Coast
Beautiful in plan. Resilient in practice.
A successful Cascais garden must respond to more than appearance. Sun, prevailing wind, coastal exposure, soil, water use and maintenance expectations all influence the design.
We balance strong spatial structure with layered planting, comfortable shade, integrated lighting and materials that complement the property. Every route, view and outdoor room has a purpose.
A garden should mature with character—not become harder to live with.
Who We Design For
Landscapes for living, hosting and long-term value.
Every project begins with the property, its users and the experience the landscape should create.
Hotels & Restaurants
Arrival landscapes, terraces, dining gardens and guest spaces balancing atmosphere, circulation, durability and operation.
Developers & Investors
Private and communal landscapes that strengthen a development’s identity and appeal to discerning buyers and tenants.

Outdoor environments with structure, atmosphere and ease.

Planting & Water Strategy
Less excess. More character.
Cascais has a Mediterranean climate with a dry season, making water use and plant selection important design decisions. Where appropriate, we prioritise locally adapted planting, efficient irrigation and permeable surfaces.
The aim is not a sparse garden. It is a layered, generous landscape whose beauty is supported by responsible planning and realistic maintenance.
