About the project

Project for a small eco-hotel in Sesimbra, within the Arrábida landscape. The built volumes are dispersed across the site in order to dissipate mass and establish a continuous sequence of movement through the terrain.

The implantation of each structure was carefully defined following an extensive analysis of the site’s topography, exposure, vegetation and views. The project seeks to adapt to the land rather than impose a singular gesture.

The buildings are conceived through an open spatial logic, visually extending towards the surrounding landscape and reinforcing the relationship between interior and exterior.

Environmental concerns inform all components of the hotel. Recycled materials, the use of local timber, rainwater harvesting systems and low-impact heating solutions are integrated as intrinsic parts of the architectural strategy.
