Monday, 16 November 2009 09:54
Built near the medieval town of Óbidos, on the banks of the Lagoon, the soon to open Bom Sucesso – Design Resort, Leisure Golf & Spa is an ambitious luxury tourist resort. Built over an area covering 1,576 square miles, Bom Sucesso will contain 601 houses, both villas and townhouses, a hotel with a spa, an 18-hole championship golf course, an unparalleled range of facilities and a large ecological reserve. The Bom Sucesso – Design Resort will be Portugal's first carbon free resort. A group of highly qualified architects, both Portuguese and foreign, developed an innovative concept of contemporary architecture blended into the landscape. Twenty-three Masters of Contemporary Architecture followed a set of rules that provide the formal unity of the project, but which simultaneously enabled them to follow their own original and specific objectives. Most important among these rules and vital for the originality of the resort, was that all rooftops should be covered in greenery and any walls should either be covered in greenery or else simply not exist at all. With the highest standards of quality of life in mind, nothing was left to chance. This is a project tailored for the demanding consumer who appreciates contemporary architectural style, highly rated in the real-estate market and located in a privileged country – the sunniest in Europe – with good weather practically all year round and a people famous for their exceptional hospitality. www.bomsucesso.com.pt
