An hour's drive south of Lisbon, and an easy bike ride from pristine Comporta beach (four bikes are included in the rental rates), this development mixes hi-spec modernist architecture (design by Manuel Aires Mateus, state-of-the-art sound system, high-speed internet and sleek dipping pool) and rustic luxury (the dining and living rooms are open-sided and sand-floored).
The 12 green guidelines fall into three key categories: urban form (urban growth boundary, transit-oriented development, mixed-use, small blocks, and public green space), transportation (non-motorised transit, public transit, and car control), and energy and resources (green buildings, renewable and distributed energy, waste management, and water efficiency).
Meldman's developments mix the exclusivity of a private club, to which membership is available only to property owners, with the amenities of a five-star resort, such as full-service spas, championship-level golf courses, restaurants, fishing, horseback riding and boating.

Pioneer tree communities, including those composed of invasive alien species, represent specific stages in the natural development towards mixed-species, mixed-age mature forest communities (Parrotta & Turnbull 1997).
According to the law of vertical displacement (deformation) and crack development, emulsion mixes included three states of displacement development, while foam mixes included two stages of displacement development.
A new concept for the development of mixing rules for cubic equations of state consistent with statistical-mechanical theory of the van der Waals mixing rules is introduced.
I was surprised to find that my feelings about this development were mixed.
