International Water Artisan of the Year 2025
Flagship Project — Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon Natural
Pool Oasis
A multi-level natural pool retreat in Lisbon, crafted with hand-set stone, custom timber finishes, and full ecological regeneration. Featuring wetland filtration, smart circulation, and layered swim zones — this flagship project exemplifies Aqua Vitae's mastery of landscape-integrated water design.
Built from over 200 tons of local limestone, the pool sits in its hillside as if it emerged from the rock below it. Winner at the 2025 International Water Artisan of the Year Awards — one of three projects selected globally.
