A plan to turn a lagoon into a hotel concept with a cluster of chalets on stilts has been unveiled.

The lagoon in Portugal, known as salina, was used for salt production dating back at least three hundred years.

It was abandoned in the early 2000´s and has since become overgrown.

The channels and ponds which wind around the 50 hectare site have since become breeding grounds for shrimp which attract flocks of flamingos and oystercatchers. 

Danish architecture company MAST has designed timber houses on stilts.

The cabins were inspired by the traditional fisherman’s huts and jetties which dot the lagoons and rivers of Southern Portugal.

The cabins are accessible by foot using winding, elevated walkways or by boat or kayak and are being prefabricated off site reducing the impact of the construction on the delicate landscape.

The dilapidated salt production building still on site will become a restaurant and spa.

There will also be a new cluster of agricultural buildings inspired by traditional Portuguese wooden salt storage warehouses.
