THE IDEA
A landscape characterised by sparse, mostly low and bushy vegetation. Few trees – mostly cedars - are visible in the region. A harsh, dry, rocky, Mediterranean landscape with earthy colourations.

The building occupies the site of the old port-facing industrial facilities. The urban-type hotel meets the challenge of its location with industrial logic. Adapting to the surroundings is a sustainable principle.
The volumes of the hotel show and articulate them... More
