São Lourenço Bay

Santa Maria Island, 2009 - 2012

São Lourenço bay, is located in Santa Maria Island and is known for its natural beauty. Our landscape design lies on the extension of the village’s public area and the promenade whose primary function is to protect the coastal area. We were asked to regenerate its public space not just as an extension of its walkway, but also to improve its urban shape. Therefore, new patios and squares crowns the public space, serving as a powerful viewpoint in all directions of the natural bay. We designed also a bathhouse for the swimmers that normally use São Lourenco Beach.
