The proposal intends to create a pinewood garden to frame the house and make it an integrating element of this nature. All proposed plants maintain their natural and indigenous form. The concept of Pinhal, where pine needles are the main protagonist and make the shrub forms with different textures and shades tear this nature and highlights its forms.
With regard to the boundaries, an agricultural fence with a height of 1 m will be contemplated, in the whole plot, in order to meet the concept that "Herdade de Aroeira" defends, the absence of visual barriers of great expression.
Regarding the modeling of the terrain, the intention is to standardize the terrain up to the threshold level with a morphology that is as natural as possible and close to the dune morphology and then with a slope on the back to be able to frame the access to the garage of the house. The embankment is intended to reinforce the same environment and create a reading area on a wooden structure platform, suspended and with a reserved environment and embraced by pine trees.
The choice of flooring and coverings is based on criteria of functionality, accessibility, ease of execution, and adaptation to the situation in question, the intention is to opt for simple and chromatically adapted materials to the surroundings and to the proposal of the General Architectural Project. We opted for a floor in prefabricated concrete slabs alternating and rhythmic with grass (Grass) in the access to the house, and for a permeable gravel floor with a binder for access to the parking lot.
In terms of green structure, whenever possible, the preservation of the tree cover (pine pines) near the limits and the enrichment of the shrub-herbaceous stratum more at the extremes of the lot (Cupressocyparis leylandii and Pistacia lentiscus) are envisaged. In the selection of the plant list, preference is given to autochthonous, endemic, or species present in the context in which it operates, naturally well adapted "edafo-climatically" to these spaces.
