The design strategy was guided by the city’s historic footprint.

The main objective of the project was to privilege the view towards the sea, introducing horizontal panoramic telescope like volumes that turn their “eyes” towards the marine horizon.

The project proposes a direct connection between the littoral street and the beach through cross continuous distribution layouts. Through this approach the architectural elements are completely integrated with the surrounding environment: nature penetrates deep inside the slab and guides the visitor in the continuous alternation between voids and dematerialized volumes.

The dematerialization of volumes is made possible by the choice of materials, such as wood and glass, that lighten the impact of the double height structures.

The project analyses the innovative opportunities offered by the implementation of what is usually known as intelligent architecture, applied in areas characterized by extreme climatic conditions, following an environmental point of view.

The project focuses on the consequences of alterations caused by technology, economy and culture when dealing with the physical and spatial creation and transformation of receptive facilities. This topic offered the opportunity to investigate the conditions that influence the organization of hotel facilities in terms of variation of typological, morphological and functional planning conditions.

The first part of the work consisted in a thorough research concerning shading devices, their classification and their application in buildings; the outcomes of the research led to the analysis of innovative systems and materials used as shading devices and their application to the hotel complex.
