Beach Facilities and Boardwalks

Wooden walkways and pool support structures integrated into the natural landscape of Verdelago Resort, Algarve, near the coast.

Timber beach facilities and coastal buildings

CarmoForm is also a national reference in the design and construction of timber beach facilities and coastal buildings, developed to perform in highly exposed marine environments.

These projects require specific technical solutions in terms of durability, resistance to salinity, wind, solar radiation and intensive use, as well as strong architectural and landscape sensitivity.

The company is responsible for some of Portugal’s most recognised beach bars and restaurants, including Sul at Torreira beach, Carvalhal Beach Restaurant, Sal in Comporta, NoSoloÁgua at Praia do Alemão, Gigi, as well as recent projects such as JNcQuoi in Comporta and Cabana Sass. These beach facilities combine architectural identity, functionality and comfort, integrating naturally into the territory while complying with applicable regulatory and environmental requirements.

The accumulated experience enables CarmoForm to deliver solutions suited to different operating models, from seasonal structures to permanent buildings, ensuring construction quality, reliability and ease of maintenance over time.

Reference timber boardwalks

CarmoForm is the leading reference in Portugal for the design and construction of timber boardwalks, with a unique portfolio of large scale projects delivered in natural, riverfront, coastal and urban contexts.

Experience gained on highly complex projects such as the Paiva Walkways, Mondego Walkways, World Youth Day boardwalks and Vieira de Leiria Walkways demonstrates CarmoForm’s ability to operate in sensitive territories while balancing safety, durability, user comfort and landscape integration.

These projects require in-depth knowledge of timber behaviour in demanding environments, management of high pedestrian flows, environmental and regulatory constraints and long-term maintenance strategies.

CarmoForm supports the entire process, from engineering and planning through to on-site execution, delivering robust, efficient solutions tailored to the specific characteristics of each location.
