The 28 hectares site winds along the seashore in the length
of 1.6 kilometres, but the complex is never wider than 300
m. It can be divided into four consecutive segments, connected
by a fifth segment on the sea side - the beach line. Sixth
segment connects primary segments from behind. Concept of
complex development must facilitate optimal composition, one
that will follow the natural space qualities. Terrain relief
and quality vegetation represent a strong compositional element,
together indicating the potential of individual segments.
Quite naturally, the first segment of the new composition
follows the existing functional scheme of independent studio
buildings. Small volumes easily follow topography lines and
provide maximum amount of tree preservation. Their position
on sloped terrain provides each studio with garden access
from living area, street access from every second row and
"hidden" parking under upper row's garden. Segments 2, 3 and
4 with a horizontal base and a high cliff in the background
provide ideal setting for multi-storey volumes at the back
and a composition of public spaces, piazzas and services at
the front, towards the sea. The fifth segment - beaches -
is unified into a single stroke with various segments in various
widths (beach, boardwalk, green areas, tree-lined promenade).
Sixth segment represents the line of access for visitors,
staff and services. A new back road is arranged, with entrance
plazas and underground car park access behind each structure.
