The document describes an investment opportunity for a 110-hectare property in Portugal licensed for a golf resort. It is located near Lisbon and the beach at Comporta. The property has stunning natural features and is in an area undergoing tourism development. A master plan is proposed that would include a golf course designed by a renowned Portuguese golf architect, as well as a condo-hotel, villas, townhouses and other amenities organized in an organic layout inspired by traditional Portuguese villages. Sustainability is a key focus of the design.

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

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

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

The masterplan challenges the
typical assumptions of resort
design, by embracing a notion
of organic growth rooted in the
specific character of the site and its
landscape. It summons the powerful
image of the Alentejo’s whitewashed
villages growing over the centuries
by gently adapting to the topography
with beauty and simplicity.
In that regard, the ART & GOLF
RESORT reinstates the picturesque
character of a traditional village,
with its organic and trapezoid
plazas, its meandering streets and
alleys, accompanied by variable
levelling, bowed angles and
fragmented vistas.

16. In terms of the property mix,
the leading types are the
two-storey Townhouse Terraces
in 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units
with double-height mezzanine
living rooms, interior patio and
landscaped roofs, each with their
own garden.
The interior patio generates
a cross-ventilation scheme
similar to the Alentejo’s
traditional houses, thereby
reducing the heating and
cooling bill.

Golf Villas
The two-storey Golf Villas are
proposed in 2- and 3-bedroom
units. Those located next to the
clubhouse — and therefore named
Club Villas — can be serviced
by the clubhouse and specially
dedicated to the golf practice and
the golf academy.
GoLF ViLLaS
clubhouse and club Villas
The others are called Golf Villas
and are located around fairways
13 and 14. Each of these villas
has an optional pool surrounded
by its own private garden. In
addition, these villas have semi-
walled rooftop solariums for
sunbathing privacy.

17. FOREST
BUNGALOWS
The Forest Bungalows are 32
single-storey units with 1- and
2-bedroom suites. Recognizing
that Scandinavian lightweight
wood houses represent a growing
niche market of environmental
conscious consumers, these units
are thought off as a renewable,
low-carbon footprint scheme
aimed at reducing green house
emissions and energy bills.
Devised in a system of carefully
placed pile foundations, the units
are raised from the ground in stilts
in order to preserve the fragile
roots of the time-honoured cork
oak forest, guaranteeing both the
comfort of the trees’ shading, the
ease of maintenance accessibility
and the complete absence of
humidity.
Forest Bungalows

18. Condo-Hotel
Finally, the centrepiece of the resort
will be the Condo-Hotel. This building
functions exactly like a hotel but
the property (lock-off units) can be
partially sold, thereby reducing the
developer’s investment cost, and as a
direct consequence, its profitability.
The hotel’s condominium units can
offer owners a full-service vacation
home which, when not being used, is
under management contract by the
hotel.

This includes, among others, Climate
Control Efficiency, Solid Waste Recycling,
No-Net-Negative Impacts, Environmental
Integrity (materials & resources), Waste
Management, Water Recycling, Green
Power Production and Integrated Power
Efficiency.
In addition, it aims at showcasing some
of the most promising innovations
in sustainable design, such as: Micro
Windmill Power Generators; Living Green
Roofs and facades; Building Integrated
Photovoltaic Technologies (BIPVs); Organic
Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs); Rain
Collection and Grey Water Systems; Energy
Monitoring Devices; Sunlight Transport;
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs);
Insulated Daylighting Panels, etc.
The ART & GOLF RESORT aims to be
a truly sustainable development in
terms of environmental and social
stewardship. It aims to be certified
under BREEAM standards —a UK
voluntary measurement rating for
Green Buildings, equivalent to LEED,
in the US, and HQE (Haute Qualité
Environnementale), in France.
These standards will be implemented
not only at Design Stage and
Construction, but also in terms of
maintenance and management, which
can meet ISO14001: 2004 guidelines.
