Our task was to create a comfortable space for relaxation by the water on a site with steep terrain variations.

The beach design is intended for public use and is conditionally divided into several zones. At the bottom, by the water, there is an amphitheater, a sandy beach with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a multi-level deck with resting areas. Higher up, along the shore, a platform with a table and chairs offers a view of the picturesque bay. The project also includes a workout area and a yoga platform. The different levels of the beach are connected by stairs and smooth transitions from the decking.

We used natural materials typical of the region’s landscape but added a warm pink hue as an experimental touch. This helped create a space that is both natural and urban, with the feel of a countryside retreat and a unique visual identity. In addition to the beach, the relaxation zones are situated in several small grottoes along the winding shore with natural vegetation and on piers by the water.
