Peter Marina

The organic design was developed starting from the original rectangular landfill next to the highway, releasing from this axis and orienting towards the sea lane, shaping in order to create a form with highest functionality and efficiency, finally getting protected by the wing-shaped breakwaters.

The whole plot consists of three areas-the Sailing Center is the nautical heart of Peter Marina, designated to passionate experts as well as to junior trainees. The Yacht Club with a helipad on its roof is the club member’s meeting place with its own restaurant, a multifunctional conference room and a guest house attached. The Sailing School, located directly on the shore of its dedicated protected bay, offers theoretical lectures and practical instructions for basic and continuing nautical education. The northern breakwater is an external public recreation area providing fascinating look-outs to trippers stopping over. The gas station with a highway restaurant on top is placed near the marina’s gateway and the sea lane servicing yachtsmen as well as car drivers. A distinctive landmark is formed by the height of the buildings on the central pier in the middle of the marina basin increasing towards the pier head.

Together with the passionate sailing client, who was also investor of the Volvo Ocean Race - Team Russia  and his skipper, Andreas Hanakamp , an Austrian Olympian, we developed a perfect modern concept for a functional, sportive an service-orientated marina.
