Nestled near Guincho Beach in Cascais lies the charming village of Areia, where I embarked on my inaugural project featuring a cozy living area with a fireplace. This garden underwent a complete transformation, starting from the entrance gate adorned with a quaint water feature to the house entrance complemented by iron shelves for firewood storage. The aim was to craft a distinctive space, characterized by two sizable clusters of formal plants and another featuring a diverse mix of greenery. The flooring was elegantly designed with deck, while the walls were finished with exterior mortar. Our first intervention included the addition of Italian furniture, adding a touch of sophistication to the surroundings.
