Project description

Inspired by the existing yacht academy, the old train bridge, and nearby river crossings, the project creates a strong connection between sports, accommodation, and the waterfront. A new bridge links the existing and proposed buildings, while three river-oriented volumes open toward the landscape. The renovation introduces a ventilated facade with high-performance glazing, improving thermal efficiency, natural lighting, passive heating, and protection from wind and summer sun.
