Yes! We design stunning spaces of any size, from intimate urban gardens to large scale farms.

1. Book a Free Call – Let's discuss your project and understand your needs.

2. Site Visit & Analysis – We conduct a paid site visit to analyse your property and learn more about your context and goals. After this, we’ll propose a tailored path forward, including timelines and a quote.

3. Site Survey (if needed) – Depending on your property, a site survey (via drone or topographer) may be required, which we can organize for you. In some cases we may be able to obtain high-resolution public topographic data, which will save both time and money.

4. Pricing – We prefer to offer a single price for design services with clear terms. If ongoing input is needed, we can work on a retainer or hourly rate.

Absolutely! Please share it with us. If you don’t have your topography yet, let's chat first to ensure it’s necessity, and then ensure the best value and outcome.

Projects start from under €1,000. We aim to provide a fixed price for design services, but if ongoing input is needed, we can work on a retainer or hourly basis.

No, we specialize in design and collaborate closely with your construction team to bring the vision to life. If you don’t have a team, we can make trusted recommendations.

No, we focus solely on design and planning.

Permaculture is a design philosophy inspired by natural ecosystems to create self-sustaining landscapes. We use these principles to design beautiful, functional outdoor spaces with features like edible gardens, water harvesting systems, and habitats for wildlife.

Planning is the foundational process of analysis, thinking ahead about the big picture, and organizing resources to achieve a specific goal.

1. Defining project objectives (vision, timelines, and available resources)

2. Analysing the existing property (advantages, opportunities, limitations, and challenges - all seasons)

3. Thoughtfully designing systems and positioning elements (such as buildings, gardens, roads, and water systems) in optimal locations to support productivity, healthy ecology, durability, affordability, and a positive user experienceion

Design is the process of creating purposeful solutions that shape how something looks, works, or feels.

Planning and design are closely interlinked.

Planning = strategy, organization, big-picture decisions, understanding constraints.

Design = detail, expression, optimization, aesthetics, and how to work with constraints.

For example:

Through the PLANNING process, we decide to place a greenhouse at “site A”, because:

1. the sunlight and wind orientation are optimal.

2. It has easy existing road access and is less than a minute walk from the house.

3. It’s less than 40m from an existing dam.

BUT- “site A” is on a gradual slope….

Therefore we DESIGN:

1. A terrace - some flattening out of the area involving some earthworks

2. A water irrigation system linking to the existing dam.

3. A path between the house and greenhouse as well as parking for 2 vehicles.

To some degree, a good architect may offer some big picture planning and site analysis. In many cases, architects may focus purely on buildings and legalities, not taking into account the ecological systems, outdoor design, or broader holistic context.

We are based in southern Portugal but are open to projects across Europe and beyond.

Yes! Using advanced scanning technology, we create (or obtain) a digital replica of your property, enabling remote design services. In some cases, at least one in-person visit may be required.
