Landscape design: Camille Bouchard 

Located on the outskirts of Aljezur, this garden project aims to create a  harmonious connection between the home and its Mediterranean surroundings,  preserving the existing Strawberry trees and Cork oak landscape. The design introduces stone retaining walls and terraced gardens to bring  structure, stability, and cohesion while respecting the natural character of the  site. 

Outdoor spaces are reshaped into functional and atmospheric living areas,  including sunlit gardens, dry rock gardens, aromatic and medicinal planting,  and upgraded terraces incorporating jacuzzi area and outdoor living zones.  Subtle screening elements ensure privacy while maintaining views. Emphasis is placed on natural materials, drought-resistant planting, and  seamless integration with the terrain, creating a resilient and timeless  landscape experience.
