jds scatters its jardim retreat with respect for the land

JDS architects (see more here) proposes its JARDIM as a place to reconnect with nature, learn, discover, and disconnect from a bustling city. the project will stand as an example of a future-proof, durable, and socially sustainable community.

constructing a series of buildings, laying out a few miles of foot paths, and letting hundreds of people visit annually to enjoy a precious piece of authentic portuguese nature. this ambitious project is an undertaking that requires meticulous care. JARDIM, will only be realized with respect to nature. architectural interventions will be minimized, while outdoor living and taking care of the current vegetation and enriching the land’s fertility and diversity will be privileged.
