Marina, hotel development, boat park and sailing academy
A concept marina design which would be at the Baltic gateway to Saint Petersburg. The marina concept designs have been inspired by the unique qualities and sense of place inherent to marinas and the sea. The designs are all individual, iconic in appearance and functional in layout and spatial organisation.
It is intended that all the designs will be worked up into full concept designs which will better explain the bespoke characteristics and ideas described in the following document.
The Yacht Club is striking and iconic signalling the importance of the site as the gateway to St Petersburg. Inspired by the form and qualities of a droplet of water the building floats above the sea reflecting the seascape and adjacent boats.

The hotel provides the visual backdrop to the Yacht Club and resembles an outrushing wave about to break. This results in a very dynamic and energetic form which complements the unique architectural qualities of the Yacht Club.
The Sailing Academy is a place to inspire and teach the sailors of tomorrow. As such, the form of the building reflects two juxtaposed sails.
