Carvalhal Benfeito
a garden within the landscape
The garden blends with the surrounding landscape and there are 360º views. In the farthest site there are woods, meadows, apple and pear orchards typical of the region and the start of a riparian gallery which is part of the project in the future.
The idea is that the concept of merging with the landscape can also be felt in the vegetation. More sculptural and structural species, but also with interesting textures or flowering, are proposed near the house and in the functional areas. The vegetation acquires a more natural, spontaneous character, approaching the limits. Little mounds give a dynamic in topography near the house, in those there is a high variety of species with interest all year round.
