Contemporary Design and Distinctive Elements

The design of the Vila Nova de Milfontes Public Garden stands out for its contemporary approach, combining organic and orthogonal lines that define the different areas. At its center, a grassy clearing stands out, flanked by alignments of trees that promise, in the future, to offer welcoming shade on sunny days. Gentle paths meander through landscaped areas, guiding visitors throughout the space. It includes a playground specially designed for the youngest, with areas for lingering, and water features that add a note of freshness and serenity to the environment.

The materials used, such as stone and concrete, are simple and modern, contributing to a refined and functional aesthetic. The vegetation, predominantly ground cover, highlights the garden's concept, while the night lighting, with its dual scenic and safety function, enhances the design and provides a welcoming atmosphere after dusk.

Accessibility and Comfort

The design of the Public Garden took full accessibility into account, with a terrain modeling that allows unimpeded circulation for all visitors. The urban furniture, sober and strategically placed, includes traditionally designed benches that harmoniously coexist with contemporary lighting fixtures and waste bins, ensuring comfort and proper use of the entire space. This attention to detail aims to provide a pleasant and inclusive experience for visitors, inviting them to enjoy every corner.
