The Sado Estuary is one of the most<br />
important wetlands in Portugal. Its<br />
symbol is the Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops<br />
truncates), which can be easily seen from<br />
the crossing ferries. Its wetlands are a list<strong>ed</strong><br />
sanctuary of international importance with<br />
a world-class bird-watching list which<br />
includes more than 250 species.<br />

The <strong>Art</strong> & Gof <strong>Resort</strong> is reach<strong>ed</strong> by car through<br />
this stunning road<br />
PROPERTY<br />
The ART & GOLF RESORT is locat<strong>ed</strong> on the<br />
Sado riverbank, next to the village of Arez.<br />
It is reach<strong>ed</strong> directly from the National<br />
Road IC1, through a traffic-free road<br />
surround<strong>ed</strong> on both sides by monumental<br />
Stone Pines that suggest a boulevard<br />
ambiance. This type of conifer is also the<br />
dominant vegetation on the property.<br />
The ART & GOLF RESORT is a swirling<br />
terrain with a gentle gradient towards east,<br />
overlooking the wide Sado River valley with<br />
its flat and green rice fields —a landscape<br />
that recalls, at times, the serenity of Vietnam<br />
or Cambodia.<br />
With abundant natural water springs and<br />
a soil composition mostly consisting of<br />
quaternary white sand dunes — in fact, this<br />
region is a renown<strong>ed</strong> sand supplier for golf<br />
courses —, it offers the perfect golfing terrain<br />
with minimal construction.<br />

GoLF DeSiGn<br />
anD aRt<br />
The golf course has been master plann<strong>ed</strong><br />
by Santana da Silva. A Portuguese legend<br />
of golf design, Jorge Santana work<strong>ed</strong> for 10<br />
years with Robert Trent Jones Senior and<br />
Cabell Robinson, before setting up his own<br />
studio, in Portugal, in 1993, where he sign<strong>ed</strong><br />
masterpieces like Laranjal, in Quinta do Lago,<br />
or Val<strong>ed</strong>errama, in Sotogrande.<br />
Here, in the ART & GOLF RESORT, using the<br />
vegetation as its very source of inspiration,<br />
the course will keep most of the native<br />
vegetation, as well as a great deal of open<br />
sand, combining the exquisite beauty of the<br />
landscape with the superb golfing challenge<br />
of its long fairways (Par 72/ 6,595 metres) and<br />
impeccable greens.<br />
The design of the course features two<br />
distinctly different playing zones. The west<br />
side of the course is similar to the best<br />
traditional American golf courses, with<br />
various lakes and the pine forest acting as the<br />
perfect backdrop. The houses are so discreetly<br />
imb<strong>ed</strong>d<strong>ed</strong> in the topography and conceal<strong>ed</strong><br />
by the pines, that golfers will barely find<br />
them amidst the fairways. The east side of the<br />
course, where the remaining 12 holes are, is<br />
literally real estate free and play<strong>ed</strong> in a slow<br />
descend towards the riverbank. Among the<br />
most stunning holes are the 4, 5 and 6 sets just<br />
by the <strong>ed</strong>ge of the Sado, offering captivating<br />
views of the Estuary and of the rice fields.<br />
The ART & GOLF RESORT encompasses a<br />
radical and exciting sculpture art park along<br />
the course, curat<strong>ed</strong> by a leading contemporary<br />
art critic, strategically plac<strong>ed</strong> to generate a<br />
parallel promenade to the golf course.<br />

The masterplan challenges the typical<br />
assumptions of resort design, by embracing<br />
a notion of organic growth root<strong>ed</strong> in<br />
the specific character of the site and its<br />
landscape. It summons the powerful image<br />
of the Alentejo’s whitewash<strong>ed</strong> villages<br />
growing over the centuries by gently<br />
adapting to the topography with beauty<br />
and simplicity.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> VILLAS<br />
The two-storey <strong>Golf</strong> Villas are propos<strong>ed</strong><br />
in 2- and 3-b<strong>ed</strong>room units. Those locat<strong>ed</strong><br />
next to the clubhouse — and therefore<br />
nam<strong>ed</strong> Club Villas — will be servic<strong>ed</strong> by<br />
the clubhouse and specially d<strong>ed</strong>icat<strong>ed</strong> to<br />
the golf practice and the golf academy.<br />
The others are call<strong>ed</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Villas and<br />
are locat<strong>ed</strong> around fairways 13 and 14.<br />
Each of these villas has an optional pool<br />
surround<strong>ed</strong> by its own private garden. In<br />
addition, these villas have semi-wall<strong>ed</strong><br />
rooftop solariums for sunbathing privacy.<br />

In terms of the property mix, the<br />
leading types are the two-storey<br />
Townhouse Terraces in 1-, 2- and<br />
3-b<strong>ed</strong>room units with double-height<br />
mezzanine living rooms, interior<br />
patio and landscap<strong>ed</strong> roofs, each<br />
with their own garden.<br />
The interior patio generates a<br />
cross-ventilation scheme similar<br />
to the Alentejo’s traditional<br />
houses, thereby r<strong>ed</strong>ucing the<br />
heating and cooling bill.<br />

FOREST<br />
BUNGALOWS<br />
The Forest Bungalows are 32 singlestorey<br />
units with 1- and 2-b<strong>ed</strong>room<br />
suites. Recognizing that Scandinavian<br />
lightweight wood houses represent a<br />
growing niche market of environmental<br />
conscious consumers, these units are<br />
thought off as a renewable, low-carbon<br />
footprint scheme aim<strong>ed</strong> at r<strong>ed</strong>ucing green<br />
house emissions and energy bills.<br />
Devis<strong>ed</strong> in a system of carefully plac<strong>ed</strong><br />
pile foundations, the units are rais<strong>ed</strong> from<br />
the ground in stilts in order to preserve<br />
the fragile roots of the time-honour<strong>ed</strong><br />
cork oak forest, guaranteeing both the<br />
comfort of the trees’ shading, the ease<br />
of maintenance accessibility and the<br />
complete absence of humidity.<br />
pg.31
Condo-hotel<br />
Finally, the centrepiece of the resort will be<br />
the Condo-Hotel. This building functions<br />
exactly like a hotel but the property (lockoff<br />
units) can be partially sold, thereby<br />
r<strong>ed</strong>ucing the developer’s investment cost,<br />
and as a direct consequence, its profitability.<br />
The hotel’s condominium units offer owners<br />
a full-service vacation home which, when<br />
not being us<strong>ed</strong>, is under management<br />
contract by the hotel.<br />

SUSTAINABILITY<br />
& innoVation<br />
The ART & GOLF RESORT aims to be a<br />
truly sustainable development in terms of<br />
environmental and social stewardship. It aims<br />
to be certifi<strong>ed</strong> under BREEAM standards —a<br />
UK voluntary measurement rating for Green<br />
Buildings, equivalent to LEED, in the US, and<br />
HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale), in<br />
France.<br />
These standards will be implement<strong>ed</strong> not only at<br />
Design Stage and Construction, but also in terms<br />
of maintenance and management, which will<br />
meet ISO14001: 2004 guidelines.<br />
This includes, among others, Climate Control<br />
Efficiency, Solid Waste Recycling, No-Net-<br />
Negative Impacts, Environmental Integrity<br />
(materials & resources), Waste Management,<br />
Water Recycling, Green Power Production and<br />
Integrat<strong>ed</strong> Power Efficiency.<br />
In addition, it aims at showcasing some of the<br />
most promising innovations in sustainable<br />
design, such as: Micro Windmill Power<br />
Generators; Living Green Roofs and facades;<br />
Building Integrat<strong>ed</strong> Photovoltaic Technologies<br />
(BIPVs); Organic Light-Emitting Diodes<br />
