The project aims to enhance the strengths of the place and strengthen the Marina as a strategic, attractive and functional hub not only for shipowners and crews, but also for citizens and tourists.
Three key words: “re-connect” with the urban fabric, i.e., make the Marina an open place to visit and experience; “re-imagine,” i.e., transform existing spaces and buildings to create memorable places; and “re-design,” i.e., redesign the context to make it an example of sustainable development.
The redevelopment plan calls for the restoration of the Central Pier facilities, which will continue to host prestigious events in renovated spaces, from the Central Belvedere, where new spaces will be created to serve shipowners and maxiyacht crews with a bar area, an elegant gymnasium/SPA, and a new restaurant with a terrace on the top floor, to the New Service Center area, which will be renovated with a striking contemporary architectural language, transforming into a stimulating and lively space with new business areas.
The Marina reception area with related management spaces and the Francheville Pier, which will see a makeover of the commercial arcade, will also be renovated. The interior architecture combines UNA Hotel design standards with nautical themes.
