constructing a series of buildings, laying out a few miles of foot paths, and letting hundreds of people visit annually to enjoy a precious piece of authentic portuguese nature. this ambitious project is an undertaking that requires meticulous care. JARDIM, will only be realized with respect to nature. architectural interventions will be minimized, while outdoor living and taking care of the current vegetation and enriching the land’s fertility and diversity will be privileged.
