The new Port Authority and Harbormaster's Building is designed to create a sense of place. Located on a small plot but strategically positioned in a spacious esplanade, it occupies a privileged edge position next to the dock, offering unparalleled views of Portugal and the historic town center.Save this picture!Save this picture!Its materiality and angular geometry echo the coastal defensive constructions. It represents a robust and massive architecture that does not go unnoticed in its surroundings. This architectural piece possesses a high expressive capacity that roots itself in the landscape through contrast, aiming to uniquely convey the spirit of the place.Save this picture!Save this picture!The interplay between the building and the plaza generates an architectural ensemble that enhances the character of this port enclave. The L-shaped floor plan configures a porticoed plaza facing the cliff that marks the end of the tipu trees promenade running along the dock. From the plaza, the building presents its dual nature: on one side, it is open to the public, administrative areas, maritime services, and security functions beneath the access portico. On the other side, a closed volume accommodates the storage of supplies. Above this, as if it were the deck of a ship, a viewing terrace is projected.Save this picture!This building replaces outdated and ephemeral facilities that became obsolete in light of the needs of a modern marina. Its presence complements various urban renewal interventions currently underway in the Ayamonte marina. Thanks to its photovoltaic roof and high-performance installations, the building achieves high energy efficiency with a consumption that is virtually nil.Save this picture!Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeGabriel VerdOfficeBur4OfficePublished on February 15, 2025Cite: "Port Authority and Harbormaster's Building in Ayamonte / Gabriel Verd + Bur4" [Capitana martima en el puerto deportivo de Ayamonte / Gabriel Verd + Bur4] 15 Feb 2025.
