Algarve Landscape Architects
Algarve Landscape Architects
A landscape architecture office based in Benagil, Lagoa, we specialize in working across different scales and environments, meticulously interpreting the semiology of the local landscape. Our commitment to innovation and our desire to face challenges drive us to develop pioneering solutions in all phases of intervention (VR, BIM, Parametric Design).
Landscape Architecture
Accumulated experience, the use of native species, optimized irrigation techniques and strategies adapted to the conditions of each location are the pillars of our intervention.
Our Commitment: Mission and Values
Guided by Excellence and Integrity
Mission
Our main objective is to transpose the values of landscape architecture into our daily practice — whether in design or on site — the sustainability of solutions and the recognition of each individual reality. In the process, we seek to introduce various innovations with a view to increasing the productivity and longevity of our proposals.
Values
We prioritize sustainability in all the solutions we design, recognizing and respecting the uniqueness of each place. Above all, we honor the landscapes that shape our interventions, using contemporary methods to transform them in a harmonious and respectful way.

Pursuing a systematized vision of intervention in the landscape, ALA carries out studies and landscape architecture projects at the following times and scales:
Preliminary Study / Layout

Execution project
Development of the projects on the scale of the execution, with the presentation of all the written and drawn parts necessary for the launch of the work.
Technical monitoring of the work
Technical monitoring of the work, either by clarifying doubts or requesting changes from the executing entity, or by making technical visits to the work, accompanied by the respective monitoring reports.
Consulting in different areas
Whether as part of multidisciplinary teams (environmental impact studies, urban or regional planning, DDs), or under direct contract (planning, design, construction or maintenance consultancy), ALA provides the necessary studies at different scales to meet the objectives set by the client, in conjunction with the public authorities responsible for the matter.
Implementation of Green Spaces
Execution of Spaces Following on from its landscape architecture design services, ALA has a team with the human and material resources for execution, focusing on:
Lifting, pruning, transplanting or felling trees;
Constructed elements such as kerbs, metal profiles, walls, pergolas or pavements;
Planting of notable specimens and native shrub and herbaceous species;
Localized irrigation systems adapted to the site's soil and climate conditions, using remote management and local sensors.
Accumulated experience, the use of native species, optimized irrigation techniques and strategies adapted to the conditions of each location are the pillars of our intervention.
