Architect – Barbosa & Guimarães

Installed at the edge of city of Gaia, this new equipment clearly exceeds its nautical component, creating a set of complementary services and activities, relevant to the economic and social value of the urban area in which it belongs.

The organization and hierarchy of this new space is achieved through the implementation of three new buildings.

A linear building, which stretches along the existing car park, defining the boundary between pedestrian and automobile, in balance with two perpendicular buildings that are suspended in the slope, linking paths at the highest level with the existing marginal route at the lower level.
