The landscape project aims to revitalize a central urban area near the Basilica da Estrela, integrating a mix of private housing, a public garden, a green street, and private gardens. The development will create a harmonious balance between urban living, nature, and public spaces, enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors while preserving the historical and cultural significance of the area
The intervention respects the architectural context of the Basilica da Estrela and the surrounding historic area, with a sensitive approach to materials and spatial organization. The use of locally sourced materials, including natural stone, reclaimed wood, and indigenous plants, will reinforce the connection between the development and its surroundings. The project prioritize sustainability and environmental stewardship through strategies like water conservation, energy-efficient lighting, and the promotion of biodiversity.
Through the careful integration of these green spaces and public amenities, the landscape project near Basilica da Estrela will not only enhance the residential experience but also contribute to the urban regeneration of Lisbon, creating a vibrant and sustainable community for all.
